The Best Game of Victor Wembanyama’s NBA Career

Victor Wembanyama is stuck on easy mode.

After one of the greatest single-game performances of his career (and NBA history), Dave DuFour and Es Baraheni recap the Spurs’ thrilling home win over the Dallas Mavericks amidst an especially wild night in the NBA.

Then, NBA Senior Writer Sam Amick checks in with the latest on Kristaps Porzingis’ contract dilemma, including thoughts on: the players union not challenging Golden State’s decision, guaranteed money, a possible Myles Turner trade package, reported frustration between Domantas Sabonis and the Sacramento Kings, and the earliest MVP prediction column in NBA history.

And before we go, a special shout out to Courtney Kirkland. Get well soon!
