Summary
Victor Wembanyama, a San Antonio Spurs star, was ejected from Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals after a heated exchange with Minnesota’s Naz Reid. The ejection occurred with 8:39 left in the first half, and Wembanyama was swinging at Reid, hitting him in the chin with his elbow. The call was upgraded to a Flagrant 2 foul after a video review. Wembanyama left the game with four points and four rebounds in 12 minutes, marking the first time he has been booted from a game in his professional career.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
The Spurs’ star phenom takes a swing, loses his cool, and gets tossed.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Wembanyama’s temper get the best of him.
He’s still learning to control his emotions in big games.
This one felt recognizable early, and now the Spurs are without their defensive anchor for the rest of the night.
This marks the first time Wembanyama’s been ejected from a game, and the NBA will likely review the incident for potential further discipline.
