Victor Wembanyama’s highly-anticipated NBA debut finally happened on Wednesday as the San Antonio Spurs hosted the Dallas Mavericks in their season opener.
Right away, the No.1 pick showed off the defense his 7-foot-4 frame comes with.
In the first 30 seconds of the game, Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving used his shifty ball-handling skills to beat Jeremy Sochan and Zach Collins with two dribbles.
But as the eight-time All-Star and 2016 NBA Champion pulled up for the jump shot, the rookie immediately used his wingspan and stopped the ball just as it left Irving’s hands.

Minutes later, the San Antonio crowd erupted as Wembanyama scored his first six points from three-point territory in the first quarter.
Wembanyama was productive in his 23-minute shift.
The 19-year-old scored nine points in the fourth quarter to earn a total of 15, making six out of nine field goal attempts. Wembanyama also grabbed five rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Unfortunately for the Spurs, Luka Doncic and company proved too much late in the game. Doncic opened the season with a triple double, 33 points, 13 rebounds and ten assists. Irving backed it up with 22 points as the Mavericks secured the 126-119 victory.
The Spurs remain at home for their next game as they host another Texas-based team, the Houston Rockets, on Friday.
