San Antonio Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama, standing at two meters tall, has set a unique record in NBA history.
In the match against Portland (118:105), the 19-year-old Frenchman became the first basketball player in NBA history to score 30+ points and make 7+ rebounds in less than 30 minutes on the court.
Wembanyama played only 24 minutes and 21 seconds, which proved to be enough for him to score exactly 30 points, as well as make 6 assists, 6 steals, and 7 rebounds. He became the most productive player of the game.
The victory over Portland was only the 5th for San Antonio this season. Gregg Popovich's team is at the bottom of the Western Conference.
