Spurs’ Wembanyama and Thunder’s Holmgren have off nights in rookie showdown

Associated Press  

OKLAHOMA CITY — Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren avoided adding fuel to the idea that they compete with each other, even though media and fans constantly link the slender 7-footers. Wembanyama said he wasn’t aware he was even being compared to Holmgren. Wembanyama finished with eight points on 4-for-15 shooting, grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked two shots in San Antonio’s 123-87 loss to Oklahoma City. Wembanyama dunked on a post-up against Josh Giddey, then hit a midrange jumper to cut Oklahoma City’s lead to 39-37 midway through the second quarter.
