Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs wasn’t able to play a full season in 2024-25, but he still made every game count.
On Friday, the Spurs announced that Wembanyama earned a mighty big honor after his second season.
He led the league in blocks, even though he appeared in only 46 games this season.
During those 46 games, he put up 3.8 blocks per game.
That’s impressive, but the more impressive fact is that this is his second year leading the NBA in blocks.
Congratulations, @wemby 🏆

Wembanyama has been in the league for just two years, and he is already doing things that other players only dream of.
This season, he posted 24.3 points and 11.0 rebounds per game, along with his 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals.
The former Rookie of the Year is now an All-Star and could be on his way to being MVP and possibly a champion, too.
Sadly, this season was cut short because he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
But he is apparently doing well and on his way to being fully recovered before next season kicks off.
Most people assumed that Wembanyama was going to win Defensive Player of the Year, but he was eliminated from contention because he didn’t play in enough games.
But next season, he could win that award and even more.
The Spurs are eager to get Wembanyama back.
They aren’t where they want to be, but they still believe the sky is the limit as long as they have him in the lineup.
How many blocks will he put up next season, and how many trophies will he take home?
