Luka Doncic Gets Honest About Playing Against Victor Wembanyama
The Los Angeles Lakers and San Antonio Spurs squared off in a heated and fun game on Wednesday night.
The match featured two MVP candidates: Luka Doncic and Victor Wembanyama.
Following his Lakers’ 118-116 win over the Spurs, Doncic talked about Wembanyama and shared his respect for the young star.
“Is this his third year in the NBA? And he’s playing at an MVP level, which is insane. I have much respect for him. Much love, and I really enjoy his games. Playing against him, it’s very tough. I think he’s going to improve more. It’s always fun to play against guys like that and I have so much respect for Wemby,” Doncic said.

Both Doncic and Wembanyama tried to bring their best to the game on Wednesday.
Doncic was electric again with his 35 points, nine rebounds, 13 assists, five steals, and two blocks.
As for Wembanyama, he put up 19 points, eight rebounds, and three assists.
Unfortunately for Wembanyama and his Spurs, he fouled out of the game at the very end.
These two players have been talked about as MVP contenders since the very first game of 2025-26, and they have both been producing explosive numbers.
Their teams are also about evenly matched right now, with the Spurs holding a 5-2 record and the Lakers going 7-2.
These two will face off against each other again this season, and it’ll be interesting to see how they are doing at that point.
Will one of them become the odds-on favorite for MVP?
More importantly, which team will go further this year and which will have a better run in the playoffs?
