In the NBA regular season, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 125-92 on the court.

Wenban continued to display his invincible talent in this game. Not only did he continue his habit of playing in the sky and his defensive intensity in the past season, he also reduced his three-point shots, showing off his singles skills that he had practiced hard in the summer, and unlimited impact on the inside. Thick Eyebrow was beaten until he was unable to resist, Lively also suffered five fouls, and the game lost suspense early on.

Wen Ban played only 29 minutes and 40 seconds of the game, making 15 of 21 shots, 1 of 2 three-pointers, 9 of 11 free throws, scoring 40 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 3 blocks, with a plus-minus value of +31.

Wen Ban scored 40 points in the opening game, setting a record in Spurs history.
