Wembanyama scored 40 points in a sensational NBA return on October 22, 2025, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 125-92 season-opening victory over the Dallas Mavericks. The 21-year-old French star hadn't played since he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder that required surgery in February.
