Since the 2025-26 NBA campaign tipped off on Tuesday, we've gotten two double OT thrillers from the Thunder--— including Thursday night's win over the Pacers in Indiana where Shai Gilgeous-Alexander put up a career-high 55 points.

Victor Wembanyama's explosive season debut wasn't just impressive, it was franchise record-setting. His 40-point masterclass shattered George Gervin's 48-year-o

In an interview on "First Things First," Olajuwon revealed that he initially believed Wembanyama was only joking when he mentioned training with him. After all, the All-Star already had a diverse skill set that allowed him to bring the ball up himself, shoot three-pointers and even score inside.

Wembanyama scored 40 points, and Cooper Flagg debuted with a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double.

In the Spurs' regular-season opener against the Dallas Mavericks, Wembanyama simply eviscerated his competition. He went into volcano mode and spewed 40 points on 15-of-21 shooting from the field, 15 rebounds, and three blocked shots. The French native also provided several highlight reel-worthy plays that made fans drop their jaws in disbelief.

Victor Wembanyama wasn't just good during the San Antonio Spurs ' 125-92 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night. He was historic as his 40 points broke Hall of Famer George Gervin's previous franchise record for the most points scored in a season-opening game.

Victor Wembanyama had 40 points and 12 rebounds to key the Spurs' season-opening rout of the Dallas Mavericks, putting a damper on Cooper Flagg's debut.

Victor Wembanyama is back on the court after his second season was cut short due to deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder discovered in February. In the first game of his third NBA season Wednesday against the Mavericks, he looked better than ever.
