Latest results: 113-88 win over Blois, 95-91 win over Bourg-en-Bresse
Upcoming schedule: vs. Limoges (4-3) on Friday, vs. Nanterre (4-3) on Nov. 20.
Wembanyama’s season averages: 19.3 points per game, 8.3 rebounds per game.
Wembanyama highlights: He is coming off probably his two best games of the French league season. He had a 17-point, seven-rebound, six-assist, five-block game against Blois. Wembanyama followed that up with a 23-point, 10-rebound, four-block effort against Bourg-en-Bresse.
