SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama had a career-high 50 points and the San Antonio Spurs rolled to a 139-130 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.
Wembanyama was 8-for-16 on 3-pointers, also setting a career high, as San Antonio won its second straight.
Jordan Poole had 42 points for Washington, which lost its sixth straight.
At 20 years 314 days, Wembanyama is the fourth-youngest player to score 50 points, trailing only Brandon Jennings (20/52), LeBron James (20/80) and Devin Booker (20/145).
Wembanyama is the eighth player in franchise history to score 50 points. David Robinson holds the franchise record with 71 points against the Los Angeles Clippers on April 24, 1994.
Wembanyama’s previous high was 49 points in a 130-126 overtime victory over New York. He made at least six 3-pointers for the third straight game.
