'Better' Wembanyama scores 27 in second summer league game - ESPN

LAS VEGAS — It wasn't the result Victor Wembanyama wanted, but the No. 1 overall pick put on a better performance in his second summer league game on Sunday night than his debut.

Wembanyama had 27 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks on 9-of-14 shooting, but it wasn't enough as the San Antonio Spurs couldn't overcome a double-digit deficit in an 85-80 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

San Antonio trailed by 16 points entering the fourth quarter but cut the lead to one on a Wembanyama 3-pointer with 1:58 to go. The Spurs couldn't get closer than that however.

The Spurs have three games left in Las Vegas, but it's unclear if Wembanyama will continue to play.

When speaking after the Spurs' second summer league practice on June 29, Wembanyama said he was going to play at least one or two games. San Antonio's next game is on
