On Oct. 23, 2025, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Dallas Mavericks, with second-year star Victor Wembanyama clearly outdueling Dallas rookie Cooper Flagg.
The New York Post report indicated that Wembanyama’s all-court impact proved too much for the Mavericks, while Flagg struggled to match the Spurs center’s production. Specific scoring and statistical figures were not disclosed, but the outlet stressed San Antonio’s control throughout the contest.
The meeting was the first regular-season matchup between Wembanyama, taken No. 1 overall in the 2023 draft, and Flagg, this year’s top pick. Their head-to-head clash had been highly anticipated since Flagg declared for the NBA.
The Spurs’ victory adds another highlight to Wembanyama’s early professional résumé and serves as a learning experience for Flagg as he embarks on his rookie campaign.
