Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
Victor Wembanyama was ejected in Game 4 of Spurs–Timberwolves after a flagrant foul 2 on an elbow to Naz Reid, ending his involvement in that game. The call and its timing were notable because it was Wembanyama’s first career ejection. [Source coverage from Sporting News and CBSSports-type outlets reported the incident and the flagrant 2 ruling.][1][4]
The incident drew immediate reaction and questions about Game 5 availability, with discussions focusing on whether Wembanyama would be cleared to play after the league reviews the play. [The reporting highlighted potential fines/suspensions pending league review.][3][4]
Reactions across outlets emphasized the surprising nature of the ejection and the potential impact on the series, given Wembanyama’s status as a frontline rookie and the timing in the playoff slate.[5][3]
If you’d like, I can pull up the most up-to-date summaries and, if you want, provide a quick timeline of the play and the league’s stated review process. I can also fetch official league statements or the latest game notes for Game 5, if available.
A much-hyped showdown between Joel Embiid and Victor Wembanyama took a strange turn Monday when the Philadelphia 76ers big man was ejected for two technical fouls and his teammate, Andre Drummond, was temporarily ejected before being allowed to return for an incident involving the San Antonio Spurs big man.
