Wembanyama said he had a better chance of blocking the shot than getting posterized, and that’s the philosophy he’s been using throughout the season, leading the league in blocks.

Victor Wembanyama got posterized by Golden State Warriors big man Trayce Jackson-Davis. After the game, the French phenom was asked about the episode.

With just over a minute left in the fourth quarter, Jackson-Davis drove to the basket and attempted a dunk over Wembanyama. The San Antonio Spurs center tried to block the shot but ended up being dunked on and was also called for a foul.

Although it made the night’s highlight reels, Wemby was not bothered by the episode.

“Getting dunked on it is nothing. It’s part of the game. I dunk on a lot of people, and a lot of people dunk on me too. But I think I block [them] more often than I get dunked on,” Wembanyama said in French during the post-game press conference via Benjamin Moubeche from Basket Session.

“If I had a greater chance of making a mistake than blocking the shot, I wouldn’t go because that’s what’s best for the team. But 99% of the time, I can go, so I go,” Wemby added.


Wembanyama finished the game with 27 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks. The 20-year-old leads the league in blocks, averaging 3.4 per game.
