The last player to record a triple-double with blocks as one of the categories was Clint Capela on Jan. 22, 2021 with the Atlanta Hawks<\/u>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wembanyama finished the night with 27 points on 10-14 shooting, grabbing 14 rebounds, dishing out five assists and blocking 10 shots.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He did a little bit of everything,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich<\/u> said. “Obviously he\u2019s an all-around, talented player. He\u2019s got a great feel for the game, and it shows in a variety of ways, whether it\u2019s passing or making decisions, blocking shots.”<\/p>\n

San Antonio\u2019s win snapped a seven-game losing streak and was Toronto\u2019s 10th loss in their last 13 games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Wembanyama is the player who\u2019s going to play in this league for the next 15 years. We need to figure out how to attack and how to play against him,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. “Definitely a player who\u2019s unique with his size and shot-blocking ability. We\u2019ve got to do a much better job of figuring out how to play against that.”<\/p>\n

Wembanyama was selected by San Antonio with the first pick of the 2023 NBA Draft<\/u> as the most hyped prospect since LeBron James.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While the Spurs have been one of the worst teams in the NBA this season, Wembanyama has been a bright spot, leading the league in blocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I felt great today,” Wembanyama said. “Great rhythm, started the game strong. I guess it\u2019s just the NBA, you know. We\u2019ve got ups and downs in terms of shape, and today was an up day.”<\/p>\n
