Wembanyama records 3rd-fastest double-double since '97-98

Wemby puts on a show with 41 points as Spurs win 9th straight

Wembanyama had 10 points and 10 rebounds in his first eight minutes, 31 seconds on the court, collecting his 10th rebound 1:55 into the second quarter. It was the third-fastest double-double in the play-by-play era, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, behind only Boban Marjanovic (8:13) in 2017 and Jonas Valanciunas (8:08) in 2025.

Wembanyama punctuated his season high with a driving, one-handed dunk for his final points midway through the fourth quarter. He was 17-for-27 from the field and 3-for-6 on 3-pointers in scoring at least 30 points for the 14th time this season.

Stephon Castle added 21 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds for San Antonio, which has won nine consecutive games.

Bulls point guard Tre Jones had 23 points in his first game in San Antonio since being traded to Chicago as part of the deal that brought De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs. Leonard Miller added 21 points, and Collin Sexton had 20 as the Bulls lost their fourth straight.

San Antonio, which had six players score in double figures, extended its lead to 29 points in the third quarter.

The Bulls took the court two hours after waiving Jaden Ivey for "conduct detrimental to the team." Ivey, who is injured, did not travel with the team during its four-game road trip.

The news didn't impact Chicago early, as an uncontested one-handed slam by Matas Buzelis gave the Bulls a 5-2 lead and led to an angry timeout by Spurs coach Mitch Johnson 71 seconds into the game. San Antonio responded with a 20-13 run fueled by the start of Wembanyama's early double-double.
