Victor Wembanyama has more dunks this season than 23 NBA teams
The 22-year-old Spurs center has 58 dunks in 11 games and a 40-11-9 line in 25 minutes against Phoenix.
Victor Wembanyama continues to rewrite the playbook for big men in the NBA. The San Antonio Spurs center has amassed 58 dunks through the opening 11 games of the 2026/27 season — a total greater than the combined dunk totals of 23 NBA teams so far this year.
Dominance that shows up on the scoresheet
Wembanyama’s dunk rate — averaging more than five per game — underlines his physical advantage around the rim and his ability to finish plays above opposing defenses. Those numbers stand out among a league that increasingly prizes finishing at the basket.
The 22-year-old added a particularly emphatic performance in San Antonio’s recent win over Phoenix: he recorded 40 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks in just 25 minutes as the Spurs rolled to a 122–96 victory.
That line against the Suns reinforced what the dunk totals already suggested: Wembanyama is not only a shot-creator and rim protector but also a consistent threat to convert opportunities with powerful finishes.
As the 2026/27 season progresses, those counting the league’s most impactful players will be keeping a close eye on his per-game production and how opposing teams adjust to limit his influence inside the paint.
