Victor Wembanyama will be looking for revenge in his second Summer League contest.

The No. 1 overall pick had an up-and-down debut for the Spurs, finishing with just nine points in his first taste of NBA action. He did impress with eight rebounds, five blocks and three assists, but shooting 2-for-13 from the field and 1-for-6 from 3 overshadowed most of the positives.

Wembanyama’s second game was supposed to be a highly anticipated showdown with No. 3 overall pick Scoot Henderson, but the G League Ignite product suffered a shoulder injury in his debut that will keep him sidelined for this battle.

There will still be no shortage of attention on the game, as fans are hungry to see what Wembanyama is truly capable of at the NBA level.

The Sporting News has you covered with live updates, highlights and more from Spurs vs. Trail Blazers.

Second quarter

8:32 p.m.: Here comes Wemby. The French phenom just buried an impressive pull-up midrange jumper off of a quick crossover, then tipped an offensive rebound to himself for a putback dunk.

8:28 p.m.: Another blocked 3-pointer for Victor Wembanyama! After swatting Brandon Miller’s 3-point attempt in his debut, Wembanyama did the same thing at the top of the key on a Rayan Rupert 3-point attempt.

End of first quarter: Trail Blazers 19, Spurs 8

8:24 p.m.: It was a low-scoring affair in the first quarter as the Spurs trail the Blazers by 11 points. Victor Wembanyama only played five and a half minutes in the frame, scoring two points to go with four boards.

Portland’s point guard Michael DeVoe led all scorers with five points.

8:13 p.m.: Victor Wembanyama’s first shift has come to an end, subbing out with just under four and a half minutes remaining in the first quarter. He went 0-for-2 from the free throw line but buried a midrange jumper to get on the board.

Wembanyama has two points, four rebounds and one turnover so far.

8:10 p.m.: It’s been another quiet start for Victor Wembanyama, who has only taken one shot attempt through the first four minutes of this contest. He is headed to the free throw line with San Antonio trailing 5-3.
