If you missed it: Victor Wembanyama scored a career-high 52 points and grabbed 24 rebounds Wednesday night as the Spurs beat the Mavericks at Frost Bank Center. Dallas rallied from 19 down, but Kyrie Irving missed a 15-foot turnaround jumper with 2.5 seconds left.

Wembanyama joined Wilt Chamberlain and Bob McAdoo as the only players in NBA history with a 50-20-5 game, according to Basketball Reference. He said he played sick and rolled his ankle. Teammate Dylan Harper had a take.

“He’s Superman. He rolls an ankle and pops right up and acts like nothing happened.”

  • Spurs: 6-2, fifth in the West, six straight wins
  • Free throws: Wembanyama made 19 of 23; Spurs went 33 of 39
  • Next: Fri., 9 p.m. CT at the Kings, the Spurs' first NBA Cup game

Coach Mitch Johnson said, “We’re starting to finally play the brand of basketball that we know how and how we should play.” Dallas outscored San Antonio 60-44 in the second half, but the Spurs went 33-of-39 at the line.

City Hall

City Council names three 2027 bond tri-chairs on a 9-⁠1 vote, with the mayor opposed

San Antonio City Council named the three tri-chairs for the 2027 bond Thursday on a 9-1 vote. Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones cast the one no vote, and Ivalis Meza Gonzalez (D8) wasn't at the meeting.

Council approved these three tri-chairs

Before the vote, Jones said she'd heard OCI is working with the Spurs and asked if conflicts could be disclosed. City Attorney Andy Segovia said his office is unaware of any conflicts that would disqualify the three, and a Spurs spokeswoman said the team is no longer under contract with OCI. Every other council member present voted down further discussion.
