When it comes to stuffing the stat sheet, few players do it quite like Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama.
Wemby had another monster game Saturday night with 24 points – including a career-high six 3-pointers – along with 16 rebounds and seven blocks as the Utah Jazz held off San Antonio 111-110. That stat line makes Wembanyama the first player in NBA history to record multiple games of 20+ points, 15+ rebounds, 5+ blocks and 5+ made 3-pointers.
He also became the second player in league history with six 3s and seven blocks in a game, joining Brook Lopez, who made six 3-pointers and blocked eight shots on Feb. 17, 2017.
At age 20, Wemby already has three career games with at least five 3-pointers and five blocks, which ties Kristaps Porzingis for the second most in NBA history. Raef LaFrentz did it four times.

And one more: Wembanyama now has 10 games with seven or more blocks, which makes him the youngest player to reach that mark in NBA history.
