Victor Wembanyama stats tonight: Spurs star quiet as Knicks take title
Victor Wembanyama slipped off the court quietly Saturday night, not wanting to see the New York Knicks celebrate winning the NBA championship on his court. He will be remembered for a quiet night in the Spurs' 94-90 Game 5 loss in San Antonio.
The Spurs star managed 19 points on 7-of-19 shooting, including going just 1-for-6 from 3-point range. He had 14 rebounds, but just five in the second half, and all five of his blocks came in the first half. He committed two turnovers.
Foul trouble did not help. Wembanyama picked up his second foul early and spent the closing minutes of the first half on the bench, but the Spurs managed to lead 42-37 at the half.
