Victor Wembanyama swats ball into shot clock, becomes 3rd NBA player to record a block in 100 straight games
Sometimes it feels like Victor Wembanyama is playing on a Fisher-Price hoop. The 7-foot-4 San Antonio Spurs center routinely makes other players look miniature on basketball's biggest stage.
The 21-year-old does so on both ends of the floor with an alien-like frame. Midway through the third quarter of a 126-98 win over the Atlanta Hawks Friday night, Wembanyama flashed his seemingly elastic wingspan while joining rare NBA air.
The 2023 No. 1 overall pick stuck with a spinning Jalen Johnson as the Hawks' leading scorer tried to calculate an angle to the rim. But as Johnson elevated for a floater, Wembanyama jumped and volleyball spiked the ball into the shot clock.
WEMBY BLOCKED IT OFF THE SHOT CLOCK 🤯

With that rejection, the French native became the third NBA player to record a block in 100 straight games. Only two other players have strung together that many games in a row with at least one block since the stat was introduced during the 1973-74 season: Patrick Ewing (145 games) and Dikembe Mutombo (116 games).
Wembanyama came into the night with 49 blocks, the second most of any player in the league this season. He ranked behind only Indiana Pacers center Jay Huff, who has 68 blocks this season.
As the Spurs improved to 7-1 in December, Wembanyama stuffed the stat sheet with 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks to go along with 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting in just 21 minutes of action. He came off the bench for the fourth game in a row after missing 12 straight outings because of a left calf strain.
Wembanyama remained on a minutes restriction, but his impact was still felt.
The Spurs have needed only 27 games to reach 20 victories this season. That's tied for the fourth-fastest sprint to that win total in franchise history.
