Rookie Phenom Wembanyama Leads Spurs' Historic Start
27 Oct
Summary
- Wembanyama sets franchise record with 100+ points in first 3 games
- Spurs unbeaten in first 3 games for first time since 2019
- Raptors on back-to-back after loss to Mavericks
As of October 28th, 2025, rookie phenom Victor Wembanyama has been the driving force behind the San Antonio Spurs' unbeaten start to the season. The Spurs have won their first three games, the team's best start since October 2019.
Wembanyama, who missed the final three months of last season due to a blood clot, has been unstoppable so far, scoring a combined 100 points over the Spurs' first three games—the most in franchise history. The French prodigy is also the first player in NBA history to record 100-plus points and 15-plus blocks through a team's first three games of a season.
The Spurs will look to extend their winning streak when they host the Toronto Raptors on Monday. The Raptors are coming off a 139-129 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, making this a back-to-back for both teams. Spurs reserve forward Keldon Johnson has praised the team's unity and commitment to their roles, saying "Everyone is really, really, just buying into their role and it's paying off."
The Raptors, led by Scottie Barnes' 33 points and 11 rebounds in the loss to the Mavericks, will try to bounce back against the surging Spurs. This is the first of two meetings between the two teams this season, with the second scheduled for February 25th in Canada.
