Victor Wembanyama: 'I can still do more'

Victor Wembanyama, the reigning NBA rookie of the year, delivered a career-high performance in San Antonio's 112-111 victory over Dallas, tallying 52 points, 24 rebounds, and eight blocks. Despite battling a virus and an ankle injury in the fourth quarter, Wembanyama's performance was nothing short of exceptional. However, in the wake of his stellar game, the young center insisted that he could still do more, acknowledging that his shots did not fall tonight, which forced him into a more exhausting style of play.

Wembanyama told the Associated Press, "I can still do more. My shots weren’t falling tonight and that forces me into a style of play that is exhausting. I can do it. I mean the proof is here. I can do it, but I can be much better if my shots fall. I know it’s just a matter of time."
