The NBA is back in action! Less than one week into the season, things are looking good for the defending champions Denver Nuggets after having dispatched LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in the season opener.
No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama made his anticipated debut for the San Antonio Spurs with a solid outing in a loss to Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks, but the 7-foot-4 phenom wasn’t the only rookie who stood out in their NBA debuts.
Who else looked good? Kristaps Porzingis made history in his Celtics debut against his former team the New York Knicks, while Russell Westbrook had some vintage moments for the LA Clippers.
Who already needs work? The Chicago Bulls struck a curious chord by calling a players-only meeting after just one game, and the Houston Rockets have plenty of questions to answer after their opening loss.
What has stood out so…
