Wembanyama delivered a dominant performance, finishing with 35 points and 18 rebounds to help the Spurs overcome a huge night from Jokic. The three-time MVP tallied 41 points, 18 rebounds, and nine assists, narrowly missing his 15th triple-double of the season. After the game, Jokic expressed admiration for Wembanyama, who turns 21 on Saturday. “I think he’s better this year than last year, and I think he’s going to get even better,” Jokic said of Wemby. “I think he’s a special player. I think he’s one of a kind and is going to be remembered forever.” -via BasketNews / January 4, 2025
