The stars shined during Week 4, as big-time performances dominated the action. The week was also spotted with historic accomplishments and the usual misfortune of injury trouble. In this article, we will have a look at the most prominent instances among each of these areas.
Historic achievements
Victor Wembanyama became the fourth-youngest player in history to reach the 50-point mark, as he scored a career-high 50 points in a win over the Wizards on Wednesday.
