San Antonio Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama joined a very exclusive club with his big game on Thursday. Wembanyama put together the second 5×5 game of his young career. That made him just the third player in NBA history with multiple 5×5 games, joining Hakeem Olajuwon and Andrei Kirilenko.
A 5×5 game is when a player records at least five points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks in the game same. The Spurs second-year star had his first 5×5 game during his rookie season.
Wembanyama finished the victory over the Utah Jazz with 25 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, five steals and five blocks.
Thursday’s effort by Wembanyama was the 23rd 5×5 game in history. Olajuwon performed the feat six times, while Kirilenko did three times. 12 other players put together such a line one time apiece.
