NBA Makes Victor Wembanyama Decision
Digest more
San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama will not face further discipline from the NBA for elbowing Minnesota's Naz Reid in Game 4 of the teams' Western Conference semifinal series, a person with knowledge of the league's decision said Monday.
On some level, I understand why the NBA ultimately gave Victor Wembanyama grace. His violent elbow on Naz Reid in the San Antonio Spurs' Game 4 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves — which resulted in a well-earned ejection — was a first for the French phenom as an NBA player.
Lost in the buzz around Victor Wembanyama getting ejected in the second quarter of Sunday’s Game 5 against Minnesota was a moment, captured on air by NBC, in which the third-year San Antonio star could be seen asking a teammate what the ruling by the referees meant.
Wembanyama's Game 4 ejection cost his team control of the Western Conference semis. That was enough punishment.
