Victor Wembanyama is playing his second game of his rookie season as the San Antonio Spurs host the Houston Rockets right now. The No. 1 NBA Draft pick’s debut was muted because of foul trouble Wednesday, but he did flash in the fourth quarter. Wembanyama posted nine points in the final period of the Spurs’ 126-119 loss. He finished with 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block.
While Wembanyama’s first game was on national TV, you will have to take an extra step in order to watch Friday’s game. If you do not live within the local broadcast area for either the Spurs or Rockets, you will need NBA League Pass. Wembanyama’s NBA debut drew nearly 3 million viewers on Wednesday.

Wembanyama will look to improve on his debut stat line, much like he did in Las Vegas Summer League when he followed up a quiet first game with a monster second outing. In his second NBA regular-season game, he will face fellow heralded rookie, Amen Thompson, and the Rockets. Thompson, who was drafted fourth overall in June, scored eight points in his rookie debut with five rebounds and two assists in 21 minutes off the bench. He, too, will look to make the jump in Game 2.
