He did most of his damage early, reaching 29 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks by halftime. Both NBA.com and The Sports Encounter note that he became the first player in the play-by-play era, which began in 1996-97, to reach at least 25 points, 10 rebounds and 5 blocks in a single half.

The finish was much tighter. His free throw with 24.2 seconds left provided the final margin, and Kyrie Irving missed a last shot for Dallas. Wembanyama also rolled an ankle in the fourth quarter and returned with about six minutes left, according to NBA.com, which added that he had been dealing with a virus. His own review afterward was short: "I can still do more."

Which Victor Wembanyama cards can collectors look for?

Wembanyama's rookie season was 2023-24, so that year's sets are a natural starting point, including Panini Prizm #136 and its parallels. Earlier Bowman University cards come from his pre-NBA days, and Topps NOW cards tie directly to specific moments, such as his 40-point, 20-rebound game as a rookie.

When comparing cards, check the grade, the parallel and any serial numbering, since those details separate otherwise similar listings. This is general collecting information, not investment advice, and one big game does not tell you where any card's market is headed.
