Rookie Victor Wembanyama Achieves First NBA Triple-Double in Spurs' Victory Over Pistons

The 20-year-old becomes the youngest player to achieve a triple-double without a turnover since records began in 1977-78 season.

  • Victor Wembanyama, the 7-foot-3 French rookie phenom, had 16 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists for his first triple-double in the NBA, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 130-108 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
  • Wembanyama, the No. 1 pick last summer, pulled off the feat in just 21 minutes. In NBA history, only Russell Westbrook had double digits in points, rebounds and assists faster in a 20-minute performance for Oklahoma in 2014.
  • The 20-year-old Wembanyama is the youngest player in the league to have a triple-double without a turnover, since that statistic was recorded during the 1977-78 season.
  • Wembanyama was 6 of 16 from the field, missing all four of his 3-point attempts, and surpassed his previous season high of seven assists.
  • The Spurs (6-30) entered the game with the second-worst record in the NBA, with only the lowly Pistons behind them, and a five-game losing streak.
