Victor Wembanyama’s 40-Point Explosion: What Was He Really Proving Against the Lakers?
The Spurs have another game at Golden State on Wednesday night, so coach Mitch Johnson gave an early night to Wembanyama after he hit one last 3-pointer and checked out with 4:13 left in the third.
“Of course I’m ready to go back on the court,” Wembanyama said. “I was also pushing to go back. But I mean, they made the right choice by keeping me on the bench. We’ve got to think long-term.”

The Spurs are 14-7 since New Year’s Eve, but they’ve lost to Charlotte, New Orleans, Memphis and Portland in that stretch. San Antonio has the NBA’s third-best record despite those lapses.
