On May 12, 2026, rookie center Victor Wembanyama powered the San Antonio Spurs to a blowout win in Game 5 of their playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves, just days after being ejected from a previous matchup.
Returning to the floor at Frost Bank Center, the 7-foot-4 phenom set the tone early, helping San Antonio seize control in the opening quarter and never look back. The Spurs’ decisive performance gave them a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven series.
Wembanyama’s two-way impact anchored both the offense and the defense, frustrating Minnesota’s frontcourt while energizing the home crowd. The victory moved San Antonio within one win of advancing to the next round.
Game 6 is scheduled for later this week in Minneapolis.
