Wembanyama started as a starter in the first game of the season against local rival Dallas Mavericks held at Frostbank Center in Texas, USA on the 26th (Korean time).
The result of the game was San Antonio's loss, 119-126.
While playing 23 minutes and 19 seconds, Wembanyama scored 15 points, including 3 3-pointers, and recorded 5 rebounds, 1 blocked shot, and 2 interceptions.
However, he committed 5 turnovers and recorded 5 personal fouls, revealing shortcomings that need to be improved.
Wembanyama, who has a natural physical condition of 223cm tall and 243.8cm arm length, freely throws flexible 3-point shots, raising the expectations of coach Gregg Poperwicz, who selected him first in the rookie draft.
Wembanyama, who set an official record in his debut by blocking a shot by Dallas' Kyrie Irving (22 points) early in the first quarter, drew cheers from the home fans by hitting a highly accurate 3-pointer.
However, Wembanyama, who has a slim physique, was unable to penetrate the goal due to being pushed by Dallas' defense.
He scored 6 points in the 1st and 3rd quarters combined, and was unable to play much of the time due to the increase in personal fouls.
It was in the fourth quarter, a close game, that Wembanyama's presence was revealed.
Wembanyama, who re-entered the court with about 7 minutes left, received Devin Vassell's pass at 6 minutes and 53 seconds and scored an alley-oop dunk.
Victor WembanyaMa seemed to be leading the team to victory, scoring 9 points in the fourth quarter alone, including a 3-pointer with 6 minutes and 3 seconds left.
However, with about two minutes remaining when Dallas was trailing 118-119, Luka Doncic and Irving took turns hitting 3-pointers, putting cold water on San Antonio's home opening feast.
Donciczi recorded his 57th career triple-double with 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists.
The Boston Celtics defeated their Eastern Conference rival, the New York Knicks, 108-104 in a close game.
Boston's center Kristaps Porzingis, who once played for New York, scored 30 points, including the winning 3-pointer 1 minute and 29 seconds before the end.
His teammate Jayson Tatum also scored 34 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
