San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama overcame a virus to deliver a career-best performance in the team's victory over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, in San Antonio.
The 20-year-old French phenom, listed as questionable before the game, dominated both ends of the floor as the Spurs secured the win. Wembanyama's night included a personal scoring high, though exact statistics were not immediately detailed in the initial report.
Photographs from the game show Wembanyama attacking the basket against Mavericks defenders Daniel Gafford and Caleb Martin during the first half. The performance came a day after concerns about his availability due to illness.
Tom Orsborn of the San Antonio Express-News reported the story on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
