Wembanyama Fuels Comeback win vs. Wizards
Victor Wembanyama finished Saturday’s comeback win over Washington with 24 points, eight rebounds, four assists, six blocks and two triples across 28 minutes. Since tallying a triple-double against Detroit, Wemby has scored at least 20 points in four straight with two double-doubles along the way. He was a bit light in the rebounds department against a shorthanded Wizards frontcourt, but three of his teammates finished with at least seven rebounds in this well-rounded team effort.
The rookie hadn’t played more than 27 minutes in a game since December 17, but that changed in this one as he was on the court late in this tightly-contested affair. The Spurs travel to San Antonio for a primetime matchup with the 76ers on Monday, and Wemby will look to stay productive against Joel Embiid and Co.
Embiid Amassed 33 Points in win over Charlotte
Joel Embiid amassed 33 points (11-of-23 FGs, 11-of-12 FTs), 10 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in Saturday’s 97-89 win over Charlotte, playing 37 minutes. Embiid was initially questionable for Saturday’s game, as it was the second of a back-to-back. But the reigning MVP was cleared to play and finished with another 30/10 stat line.
Embiid hasn’t failed to score at least 30 points in a game since November 15, and the three blocks were one more than his total in Philadelphia’s last three contests. Embiid and the 76ers play three games during Week 14, beginning with Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs on Monday.
