No.1 draft pick Victor Wembanyama has struggled in his first appearance at Madison Square Garden as his San Antonio Spurs suffered a third straight NBA defeat in a 126-105 loss to New York.
Wembanyama missed his first seven shots, had two airballs and made just one field goal through the opening three quarters at the famed venue on Thursday (AEDT) as the Knicks' lead blew out to as much as 30 points.
The 224cm talent, who entered the game leading all rookies with 19.4 points per game, was in danger of failing to score in double figures for the first time in his short career.
