NBA.com’s Kia MVP Ladder update carrying the latest rankings was published March 27, 2026 and is part of Shaun Powell’s weekly column on the site. (nba.com) Through 58 games this season Wembanyama is posting roughly 24.2 points and 11.2 rebounds per game while shooting about 50.5% from the field. (basketball-reference.com) Across his last 10 regular-season appearances (March 5–23, 2026) he has averaged 28.4 points and 11.3 rebounds in that stretch. (landofbasketball.com) That same 10-game span has seen him average roughly 3.5 blocks per game, according to game-by-game defensive tracking. (statmuse.com) San Antonio’s ledger stands at 55-18, the club is listed second in the Western Conference, and the Spurs have nine regular-season games remaining before the league-wide April 12, 2026 regular-season cutoff. (espn.com) (nba.com) The Kia MVP Ladder is updated weekly by Powell (typically on Fridays), so the next ranking will follow the Spurs’ remaining nine-game run and the March 27–April 12 slate.
