The Wembanyama era began last night at Frost Bank Center against the Dallas Mavericks.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was it Wembanyama\u2019s first NBA game in front of a sold-out crowd but millions of viewers tuned into the rookie\u2019s debut on Wednesday night. His first NBA game delivered in a big way with an average of 2.989 million viewers tuning in to watch the 7\u20194\u201d product from France.<\/p>\n<p>It was the most-watched NBA season-opener in 11 years, according to the NBA, and the most-watched Spurs-Mavericks regular season game ever on ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>Wembanyama\u2019s impact also extended across the pond, as NBA League Pass viewership in France was up +220% compared to last year&#8217;s regular season average.<\/p>\n<h2>Victor Wembanyama\u2019s Spurs Was Most Watched Game in Opening Week<\/h2>\n<p>Wembanyama\u2019s first game in the NBA averaged a 1.7 rating and 2.99 million viewers on ESPN. It was a milestone for the network, becoming the most-watched Opening Week game since the Houston Rockers vs Los Angeles Lakers in 2018, which happened to be LeBron James\u2019 first home game as a Laker.<\/p>\n<p>The Mavericks vs Spurs game peaked at 3.9 million viewers from 10 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. ET, which outpaced both Opening Night games on TNT.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, there were only two games with the Lakers vs Denver Nuggets bringing in 2.84 million and Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors averaging 2.71 million.<\/p>\n<p>It also marks the first time Opening Night games weren\u2019t the most-watched of the opening week since 2018.<\/p>\n<h2>Wembanyama\u2019s NBA Debut Draw LeBron James Type Numbers<\/h2>\n<p>There is a lot of hype surrounding Wembanyama. However, his first NBA game didn\u2019t go as planned, as he picked up five fouls and played only 23 minutes. Still, he managed to record 15 points, five rebounds, two assists, and a block.<\/p>\n<p>The Spurs may fell to the Mavericks 126-119 but viewership was still going strong. For the Mavericks, it was an increase of 83% from last year\u2019s season-opener against the Suns.<\/p>\n<p>For Wembanyama and the Spurs, viewership numbers also resemble LeBron James\u2019 career debut in 2003 against Sacramento. The game also aired on ESPN bringing an audience of 3.03 million viewers.<\/p>\n<p>ESPN had a strong showcase of games on Wednesday featuring the Boston Celtics and New York Knicks earlier in the night, which averaged 2.55 million viewers. The Celtics win had a higher peak audience than the Mavericks vs Spurs, with 4.35 million tuning in from 9:45 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET. However, the numbers could be inflated as Wembanyama\u2019s game was scheduled for 9:30 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n<p>The doubleheaders averaged 2.76 million viewers, up 80% from last year.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a
