After the team’s win over the Toronto Raptors, reporters pointed out that the Spurs had matched the franchise’s best-ever start to a season. Wembanyama was stunned by this statistic and offered a candid response.

"Spurs never won five in a row?" Wembanyama questioned. "Nah, I am surprised. I'm really surprised because the Spurs have the highest win percentage in the last 30 years or whatever. Wow."

The Spurs can create history on Thursday as they face the Heat at the Frost Bank Center. However, it won’t be an easy contest, as Miami comes in riding high after back-to-back wins. Still, San Antonio enters as the favorite and will be confident in their chances, having already beaten the Heat during the preseason.

After going unbeaten in their five pre-season games, Wembanyama and Co. are one of two teams with an unbeaten record in the West, with the only other team being the reigning champions, the OKC Thunder. In their first four regular-season games, Wembanyama has led the way as San Antonio’s top scorer in each outing.
