Victor Wembanyama Needs Only 25 Minutes for 40 Points, 11 Rebounds and 8 Blocks as the Spurs Win Their Ninth Straight

By The Arena Staff

PHOENIX, Nov. 9, 2026 — Victor Wembanyama was out of the game early in the fourth quarter. By then, he had already done enough for a full night.

Wembanyama scored 40 points with 11 rebounds and eight blocks in 25 minutes, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns 122-96 on Monday night for their ninth straight win, according to Yahoo Sports and the NBA.com box score.

He shot 15 of 19 from the field, 2 of 3 from 3-point range and 8 of 10 at the line, and the Spurs outscored Phoenix by 30 points while he was on the floor, the box score shows. He had 22 points by halftime, when San Antonio led by 15.

The third quarter was when it turned into a show. Wembanyama blocked his seventh shot and shrugged at Ryan Dunn as the ball sailed out of bounds, then took off from inside the 3-point line for a finger roll moments later, Yahoo Sports reported. The NBA's official account posted the finger roll with the caption "WEMBY FINGER ROLL FROM BEYOND THE FREE THROW LINE."

The numbers put him in rare company. Yahoo Sports reported he is only the second player to have more than one game of at least 40 points, 10 rebounds and eight blocks in a single season, joining Wilt Chamberlain. His first one came earlier this month, when he had 52 points, 24 rebounds and eight blocks against Dallas. Citing The Athletic's Jared Weiss, Yahoo noted that no one else in that group had needed fewer than 38 minutes to reach it.

Dylan Harper added 17 points and De'Aaron Fox had 15 points and nine rebounds for San Antonio, which is 9-2 after losing its first two games. Devin Booker scored 32 for the Suns, who have lost five of seven.
