The NBA has its future well secured with players like Victor Wembanyama. The Frenchman is on his way to becoming the long-term big star of the competition. In just two years in the league, his impact is already unprecedented.

San Antonio Spurs' player has not played a single game since last February, when he got injured during the All-Star Weekend. Wembanyama's season came to an end there, having accumulated 176 blocks up to that point.

As Tim Reynolds of AP points out, Wemby still remains the player with the most blocks this season, including playoffs! The Frenchman has been out for 3 months, but no one has been able to surpass the mentioned figure.

The closest to him is Myles Turner. The Indiana Pacers' player, including the games he has played so far in the playoffs, has a total of 165. He is still 11 away from the record of a Victor Wembanyama who, if he plays until the end of the season, who knows where he would have set the bar.
