Victor Wembanyama started extremely slow at home against the Golden State Warriors, but became the star of the show by the end of the fourth quarter by simply continuing to shoot.
It was his return game — the 20-year-old had missed three games with a right knee contusion after colliding with Los Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis back on Nov. 15 — and naturally, there was some more rust to shake off, but even then, he felt out somewhat out of sorts."It was a little hard to come back in terms of conditioning in the first half," Wembanyama explained. "But second half, I was feeling really good."That much was evident.
