"ATLANTA -- Victor Wembanyama joined an exclusive club on Friday night, recording his 100th consecutive regular-season game with at least one block in the San Antonio Spurs' 126-98 win against the Atlanta Hawks. The Spurs center led the charge with a team-high 26 points, 12 assists and two blocks. Wembanyama rejected a shot from Hawks' Dyson Daniels with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter, spiking it off the backboard."
"Only two players have accomplished this feat before. Patrick Ewing recorded 145 consecutive games with at least one block, and Dikembe Mutombo's streak reached 116 games. Mutombo is second in the NBA record books with 3,289 overall, behind only Hakeem Olajuwon (3,830). Blocks became an official NBA statistic during the 1973-1974 season. Wembanyama is up to 51 blocks this season. He missed 12 games after exiting a Nov. 14 loss to Golden State with a calf strain."
Victor Wembanyama recorded his 100th consecutive regular-season game with at least one block as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Atlanta Hawks 126-98. He led the Spurs with 26 points, 12 assists and two blocks, rejecting a shot by Dyson Daniels and later swatting a layup from rookie Asa Newell. The streak began in his rookie season; his last regular-season game without a block was Jan. 10, 2024, against the Detroit Pistons. Only Patrick Ewing (145) and Dikembe Mutombo (116) had longer streaks. Wembanyama has 51 blocks this season after missing 12 games with a calf strain. The Spurs improved to 20-7 and will play the Wizards and Thunder next.
