Nevertheless, they were only recorded in two contests with nothing really being at stake. On Saturday night, the 18-year-old Frenchman took the court for his team, Boulogne-Levallois (3-1), against hosts Le Mans (4-1) for the French LNB.

Wembanyama and coach Vincent Collet's team struggled in the first half, being down by ten (37-47) at the half-time break. But when the match was drawing to a close, the 2.23 m-forward took his team on his shoulders and carried it past the finish line.

Having scored just 4 points in the first half, Wembanyama dropped another 19 in the closing 25 minutes, finishing with 24 overall.

He went 6/12 two-point shooting, 2/7 three-point shooting (8/19 from the field), and 6/8 from the charity stripe in 35 minutes. He also collected 9 rebounds, blocked three shots and earned himself 20 PIR points. While he was on the floor, Metropolitans beat Le Mans by 17 points.

His unstoppable scoring streak garnered Boulogne-Levallois the away win (94-89), in overtime.

Tremont Waters was Boulogne's first scorer with 26 points and 11/18 field-goals, plus 5 steals. Matt Morgan dropped 34 for the hosts (8/15 FG, 14/18 FT, 8 assists).
