Victor Wembanyama returns to the lineup and leads the San Antonio Spurs to a 126-97 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5, taking a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference second-round series. Multiple outlets report Wembanyama scores 27 points and adds 17 rebounds, with some also crediting him with three blocks. Sky Sports highlights that he “rebalances” after an earlier first career ejection, while other coverage emphasizes his strong two-way impact during the game. BBC Sport and Al Jazeera both describe the Spurs’ performance as putting them one win from reaching the Western Conference final. The Japan Times notes that Wembanyama is back after escaping suspension related to the ejection in the previous game, and the Inquirer.net recounts comments about responding in the right way after that incident. The combined reports portray Game 5 as a decisive Spurs victory that shifts momentum toward San Antonio, while Minnesota faces elimination with the series needing one more outcome.
