Victor Wembanyama played against the Dallas Mavericks after recovering from a rib contusion, aiming to meet the 65-game eligibility threshold for awards. He finished with 40 points and 13 rebounds in just 26 minutes, then discussed the threshold, suggesting that 62 games would be a more logical minimum. Wembanyama, a strong candidate for Defensive Player of the Year and MVP, acknowledged the implications of the rule for other players like Cade Cunningham and Luka Doncic. The San Antonio Spurs currently hold the No. 2 seed in the playoffs with a 62-19 record.
