What happened

Victor Wembanyama powered San Antonio past Dallas 112-111 with 52 points, 24 rebounds, and eight blocks, a career night in Wednesday's win.

After saying he had been sick and finally felt his legs back, he added that his recent shooting struggles make sustained dominance harder over a full season.

LINEUP CONTEXT

His comments suggest San Antonio's offensive ceiling rises if his legs and jumper hold, though the team still may rely on his rim pressure when shots miss.
