Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs are headed to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014. The Spurs defeated the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals on May 30, 2026, with Wembanyama scoring 22 points and grabbing 7 rebounds.
The victory marks a significant milestone for the Spurs, who have not reached the Finals since winning the championship in 2014. Wembanyama, the 2024 Rookie of the Year, has been a key factor in the team's success this postseason, averaging 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, and 3.2 blocks per game in the playoffs.
The Spurs will face the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks. The Finals are scheduled to begin on June 4, 2026.
