Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs: undefeated and on a mission

Victor Wembanyama is dominating the paint in the 2025-26 season. More than that, he’s crafting a new narrative for the San Antonio Spurs. After the blowout victory over the Toronto Raptors, the French center made it clear that this team isn’t just here to compete. The Spurs are chasing history. “We’re going to break that record,” said Wembanyama when he learned the franchise had never started a season with more than four straight wins.

The revelation, shared by Jared Weiss of The Athletic and reported by Athlon Sports, caught Victor Wembanyama off guard—but he didn’t hide his ambition. And he’s got plenty of reasons to believe. In just four games, San Antonio has shown a solid, balanced, and explosive version of itself, with Wemby at the center of it all.

Dream numbers

Against Toronto, Victor Wembanyama delivered a surgical performance: 24 points on 7-of-8 shooting and a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line. He added 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block—all in just 31 minutes. His blend of size, mobility, and court vision continues to puzzle opponents, who struggle to contain him without paying the price.

But Victor Wembanyama isn’t doing it alone. Stephon Castle chipped in 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 steals, while Keldon Johnson. And rookie Dylan Harper combined for 21 points off the bench. Under Gregg Popovich’s guidance, the team is operating like a well-oiled machine. With clearly defined roles and a rotation that breathes depth.

What’s next

The numbers back it up. The Spurs and Victor Wembanyama rank sixth in offensive rating (120.4). Third in defensive rating (104.8), and lead the league in net rating (15.6). In other words, they’re dominating on both ends of the floor—something San Antonio hasn’t seen since the golden days of Duncan, Parker, and Ginóbili.

This Thursday, the Spurs will host the Miami Heat at Frost Bank Center. A win wouldn’t just set a new franchise record for best season start. It would also solidify Victor Wembanyama as the face of a new era. At just 21 years old, the French phenom isn’t just looking to win games. He’s here to leave a legacy.
