San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama scored a career-high 50 points Wednesday night in a 139-130 win over Washington, becoming the first Spurs player since David Robinson in 1994 to log a 50-point outing in regulation.

At 20 years, 314 days old, Wembanyama becomes the fourth-youngest player in NBA history to reach 50 points in a game, trailing Brandon Jennings, LeBron James and Devin Booker.

The San Antonio Spurs have endured a challenging start to the NBA regular season, and Victor Wembanyama is well aware of it. In response, the French phenom delivered an encouraging message to a teammate he believes could play a pivotal role in turning things around.
