San Antonio Spurs' young centre Victor Wembanyama has produced yet another incredible achievement.

The 20-year-old has been regarded as one of the most highly-rated young players currently playing in the competition.

He once again lived up to the hype by starring for the time, this time in a losing cause against the Los Angeles Lakers who came out on top with a score of 123-118 at the crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Friday.

During the match, Wembanyama ended up registering a rare ‘5x5’ game where he produced at least five blocks, five steals, five assists, five points and five rebounds.

His eventual numbers were far more impressive as he contributed 27 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, five blocks and five steals for the losing side.

For the winning team, the star of the show was their legendary forward LeBron James who ended up registering as many as 30 points to go with seven rebounds and nine assists.

The result made things even further hard for Spurs who are still placed on the fifth position in the Southwest Division with just 11 wins and 46 defeats.

Wembanyama, this season, has been fabulous for Spurs where he is averaging 20.5 points, 10.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.
