Victor Wembanyama has lived up to the hype so far in his young NBA career and he took another step towards stardom on Wednesday night when he scored a career-high 50 points in the San Antonio Spurs' 139-130 win over the Washington Wizards.

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 Wizards show some fight, overcoming a 16-point deficit to forge a tie in the second half, but they have no answer for the Wembanyama.
