Victor Wembanyama posted a triple-double, but the San Antonio Spurs lost, 125-120, to the Golden State Warriors in Frost Bank Center on Wednesday.
“Even before getting in the league, from watching the Warriors for years and years, I knew that when they got the momentum, they are really good. It’s hard to stop them. You need to keep them in the first gear,” mentioned the 21-year-old French center in a postgame press conference.
In his fourth career triple-double and first for the 2025-26 NBA Regular Season, Wemby finished with 31 points, 15 rebounds, and ten assists over 36:21, which also included one block. Polish teammate Jeremy Sochan got three points, three rebounds, and one assist in 6:17.
Paving the way for the Warriors in San Antonio, Stephen Curry poured in 46 points. On the European side, Dutch Quinten Post recorded one steal in 4:36.
Franz Wagner drops 28 points
Wearing a face mask due to a nose injury, German Franz Wagner tallied 28 points, lifting the Orlando Magic over the New York Knicks, 124-107, in Madison Square Garden. Georgian Goga Bitadze and German Tristan da Silva added ten and eight points, but French Noah Penda did not score, and German Moritz Wagner (left knee injury recovery) remained sidelined.
For the hosts, British O.G. Anunoby recorded eight points, French Guerschon Yabusele had six points, French Pacome Dadiet squeezed in two points, German Ariel Hukporti and French Mohamed Diawara did not get on the board, and British Tosan Evbuomwan sat out.
