Victor Wembanyama showcased an extraordinary performance, scoring a career-high 50 points in the San Antonio Spurs' 139-130 victory over the Washington Wizards. This achievement marks him as the first Spurs player to reach 50 points since LaMarcus Aldridge in 2019.

Wembanyama's scoring spree included eight 3-pointers and a dominant third quarter where he scored 17 points, helping the Spurs secure their win. Meanwhile, Jordan Poole led the Wizards with 42 points, but the team continues to struggle, now sitting at 2-8 for the season.

Interim coach Mitch Johnson is currently leading the Spurs as head coach Gregg Popovich recovers from a mild stroke.
