The Spurs’ mascot, The Coyote, captured the bat with a net after numerous failed attempts, much to the delight of Wembanyama and Spurs teammate Jeremy Sochan.
The Coyote previously corralled two bats, while former Spurs star Manu Ginobili swatted another to the count with his bare hand in November 2009.
Wembanyama went on to score nine points over the next two minutes. The French rookie finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds.
