Victor Wembanyama is only in Year One, filling the stat sheet in intriguing ways even as he finds his NBA footing. His latest achievement: logging the NBA’s 22nd ‘5×5’ stat line.

Friday against the Lakers, Wembanyama dropped 27 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks in 31 minutes. The Spurs took a 123-118 loss, but the 7-foot-4 rookie became the youngest player to achieve a 5×5 line since the NBA began tracking steals and blocks in 1973-74.

“He doesn’t have a ceiling,” LeBron James said. “He can do whatever he wants to do in his career. It seems like he enjoys the game. It seems like he puts the work in, just from the outside looking in. … I said a long time ago how special he was, and it’s really that simple.”

Wembanyama fell one one assist shy of a 5×5 game in Sacramento on Thursday night, only to hit the mark one night later in Los Angeles. He did so in just 30 minutes, 55 seconds of play — the smallest amount of playing time in a 5×5 performance in league history.

It is the first 5×5 since Jusuf Nurkic racked up 24 points, 23 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 blocks and 5 steals for the Trail Blazers against the Kings on New Year’s Day 2019.

Anthony Davis logged one earlier that season (12/16/6/5/5), before which it had been nearly three years since Draymond Green’s 5×5. That came in double overtime against the Celtics.

Wembanyama also joined Michael Jordan as the only players to get at least five steals and five blocks in consecutive games.

“I wonder if (Jordan) did it in wins, not losses,” Wembanyama said. “To me, it’s secondary. Hopefully in the future we can look back and see this as a good performance, but as of today, I can’t be satisfied in a loss.”
