Sometimes you look at a Victor Wembanyama stat line and you have to do a double take. After doing just that while observing Wednesday’s astonishing 52-point, 24-rebound performance in a win over the Dallas Mavericks, we had to rub our eyes and make sure it was all real.
The San Antonio Spurs’ All-Star not only dropped 52 points and 24 rebounds, but also added two assists, two steals and EIGHT blocks for good measure, scoring 110 points in Yahoo High Score fantasy basketball, while putting up even more in points leagues (112.8).

The 110 points in High Score is tied for the most in the format ever, matching Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game from last season against the Wizards. At the time, we thought we’d be talking about Bam’s performance likely for the rest of time. Well, guess we need to add Wemby’s box score from last night into that category.
And the cherry on top of the fantasy basketball sundae might be that Wembanyama iced the game with two free throws to give the Spurs a 112-111 lead, which would help them hold on for the win. The 52 points vaulted the big man’s season average up to 29 points per game, which now ranks fourth in the NBA entering play Thursday.
San Antonio has now won six games in a row after dropping the first two contests of the season. Wemby will look to continue his massive fantasy week with matchups against the Kings and Trail Blazers. For High Score formats, it’ll be tough (actually nearly impossible) for Wemby to top that score for managers this week, but those in points and 9-category leagues will welcome the chance at additional production.
