Continuing his historic rookie season, San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembaneyama had another impressive performance in Tuesday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. With 23 points, 15 rebounds, 8 assists, and 9 blocked shots, Wembaneyama became the third player in NBA history to hit that line in a game, and the only rookie to do so (via Basketball Reference's StatHead ).

Wenbanyama continues to improve as his rookie season progresses. After finishing this year strong, Wenbangyama is heading into the offseason with a lot of momentum and should come back for his second year as an even better player than he was in his rookie year.
Although the Spurs didn't make the postseason, they finished the year with a lot of positives and are hopeful that next year will be a much better season than this one.
