Yaxel Lendeborg Won’t ‘Move Past’ Spurs Rout Weeks After Ripping Luka Doncic
Warriors rookie Yaxel Lendeborg gets brutally honest after a rough night against Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.
Rookie forward Yaxel Lendeborg is struggling to move past a devastating 1-for-13 shooting performance from his debut with the San Antonio Spurs. In a 123-85 blowout loss, the Warriors were heavily outmatched by a San Antonio team led by rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama, who recorded 37 points and 7 rebounds. Lendeborg, playing as the top scorer with Stephen Curry sidelined due to a torn oblique, scored just 3 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and committed 3 turnovers.
Despite his efforts, the Warriors started the game poorly, surrendering 18 points in the first 3 minutes. Lendeborg admitted he was "flustered the entire game" and couldn't make layups. He attempted to outshoot Wembanyama from deep but failed to convert his two 3-point attempts. Warriors coach Steve Kerr urged Lendeborg to focus on bouncing back, emphasizing that every experience contributes to his growth.
