PARIS: Victor Wembanyama said he played one of the best five games of his young career after delighting his home crowd in Paris on Thursday by scoring 30 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 140-110 rout of the Indiana Pacers.
The 21-year-old 7ft 3in (2.21m) center took control of the game in a third-quarter performance when the Spurs roared into a 23-point lead.
Wembanyama was playing in the French league a year and a half ago before his selection as the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA draft set him on the path to global stardom.
