In contrast to the Academy-award-winning actor, the famous rapper didn't enjoy much of Wembanyama's skill set, as the projected No.1 NBA prospect had his season-worst game against hosts Paris Basketball. That didn't prevent Boulogne-Levallois from registering another win (91-71).

Wembanyama stayed on the court for 23 minutes, producing 11 points on 5/16 FG (1/5 3PT shooting), 2/2 FT, 5 rebounds, a career-high 6 blocks, and 2 steals for a PIR of 17.

Until tonight, Wembanyama's worst performance in the French league had been recorded in the game against Pau-Lacq Orthez (an easy 82-59 win) on September 27, where he had 10 points in 3/10 from the field, 8 rebounds and a PIR of 15. The French super talent leads the LNB in scoring (23.6), rebounds (9.4), blocks (2.8) and PIR (26.9).

Hugo Besson led all scorers with 19 points (plus 11 rebounds), while Tremont Waters added 17 for Vincent Collet's squad which went on a partial score of 32-49 in the second half.

On the other end, Paris saw Jeremy Evans' experience counterbalance Wembanyama's athleticism, as the former NBA and EuroLeague big man had 11 points and 7 rebounds. However, Kyle Allman, one of EuroCup's first scorers, scored only 8 points on 1/8 3PT shots.

Another French NBA prospect, Ismael Kamagate, had 8 points and 7 rebounds in 24 minutes of action. The 21-year-old center was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 46th pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, before being traded first to the Portland Trail Blazers and then to the Denver Nuggets, who have his rights.

Boulogne-Levallois are now 2nd in the standings (10-3), only behind LNB leaders AS Monaco (11-2) and above Cholet and Dijon (9-3). Paris dropped to 4-9 and keep struggling in the relegation zone.
