The San Antonio Spurs, largely because Victor Wembanyama’s second quarter ejection, missed out on the chance in Game 4 to take a commanding lead in the Western Conference semifinals.
Now, they can breathe a sigh of relief.
According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Wembanyama has avoided suspension over the right elbow he threw at Minnesota Timberwolves forward Naz Reid on Sunday, May 10 in Game 4, an eventual 114-109 Minnesota victory.
This comes as a massive relief for San Antonio, which is now in a 2-2 tie in the series. Wembanyama is the team’s best player and arguably the player in the entire NBA who most impacts games on both ends of the floor.
Once he left the game, the Timberwolves attacked the paint more freely because of the void Wembanyama left down low.
