Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs scored a career-high 50 points in a victory over the Washington Wizards on November 14, 2024. The 20-year-old center achieved this feat in just 28 minutes of play, shooting 18-of-27 from the field and a career-high 8-of-15 from three-point range. Wembanyama became the youngest center in NBA history to score 50 points in a game and the fourth youngest player overall to reach this mark. He also set a record as the first center to make at least five three-pointers in three consecutive games, totaling 20 three-pointers over his last three outings. This is the first 50-point game by a Spurs player since LaMarcus Aldridge in 2019.
