Victor Wembanyama Stars in NBA History With 52-Point, 24-Rebound, 8-Block Performance

Victor Wembanyama delivered a standout fourth NBA season, but his Wednesday night was unlike anything he had done before.

The San Antonio Spurs superstar set a new career high with 52 points, along with 24 rebounds and eight blocks, in a 112-111 win over the Dallas Mavericks. No player in NBA history has posted those totals, and only one other player has recorded a 50-point, 20-rebound, 5-block game: Bob McAdoo on Feb. 22, 1974.

The game came down to the final possessions, with Wembanyama making a free throw to give the Spurs the lead and Kyrie Irving missing a would-be game-winner.
