Victor Wembanyama created an incredible highlight against Mitchell Robinson during the San Antonio Spurs' NBA Cup Championship Game against the New York Knicks on Tuesday night.
Wembanyama is going through the third season of his career. Following a hot start to the campaign, he made his grand return to the court on Dec. 13 following a month-long absence due to a calf strain injury. He came off the bench in the Spurs' semifinal win over the NBA-best Oklahoma City Thunder, reaching the NBA Cup final for the first time in franchise history.
Wembanyama made sure to keep the highlights coming. That was certainly the case with his highlight against Robinson in the second quarter. The Spurs big man caught the ball inside the arc as he pulled up for the jumper over the Knicks center. It was clear that Robinson wasn't going to block it with how quick Wembanyama went up for the mid-range bucket.
