Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs concluded their preseason preparations on Friday with a dominant 126-97 victory over the Sacramento Kings at the Frost Bank Center, as reported by Eurosport. The Frenchman logged 17 minutes of action, finishing with 14 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 assists in a lopsided contest that saw the Texas franchise build a 71-37 lead by halftime.
Spurs Establish Control Early Against Sacramento
San Antonio took control of the game from the opening tip against one of the league’s weakest teams. Wembanyama made efficient use of his limited floor time before Mitch Johnson turned to his bench for the remainder of the evening. The performance followed a 123-103 victory over the Phoenix Suns two days prior, marking the second victory for the franchise ahead of the regular season.
Dylan Harper Sparks San Antonio Bench Production
While Wembanyama anchored the interior early, Dylan Harper provided a significant offensive spark. Harper tallied 19 points in the victory, highlighted by a stretch of 14 points during the third quarter that kept the Sacramento defense under constant pressure. His scoring surge ensured the Spurs maintained their comfortable advantage throughout the second half without needing extended minutes from their starting unit.
