Even though he was ejected for a Flagrant 2 foul and Minnesota won 114-109 to tie the series 2-2, ESPN\u2019s Shams Charania later reported that Wembanyama woudl receive no further discipline, meaning no suspension or fine, and he would play in Game 5.<\/p>\n<p>The article describes how the contact happened after Wembanyama pulled down a rebound, notes that Reid had not fouled him, and includes quotes and reaction from game circumstances, including reid\u2019s understated response to the pain. It also cites debate on social media about whether the incident should be compared to past elbow-related suspensions, and ends by noting that San Antonio will host the Timberwolves for Game 5 with Wembanyama available.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A wild, ill-advised elbow threatened to knock the San Antonio Spurs out of the NBA playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Early in the second quarter of Sunday\u2019s Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals, San Antonio superstar center Victor Wembanyama violently swung his elbow and connected with the chin of Minnesota Timberwolves center Naz Reid, who fell to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Wembanyama\u2019s reckless move raised questions about a possible suspension from the league.<\/p>\n<p>In late breaking news, however, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/espn-set-begin-layoffs-due-unexpected-revenue-dip-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ESPN\u2019s<\/a> Shams Charania reported on Monday afternoon that the Spurs center will not face additional punishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will be no further discipline for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in Minnesota on Sunday night, sources tell ESPN.

In 2026, for instance, he led the NBA in blocked shots per game for the third straight season and won the league\u2019s Defensive Player of the Year Award. His name also regularly appears on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nba\/story\/_\/id\/48551947\/2026-nba-mvp-nikola-jokic-shai-gilgeous-alexander-victor-wembanyama\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">short list of favorites<\/a> for NBA MVP.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, his loss would have crushed the Spurs, who entered the playoffs as one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/nba-player-jaden-ivey-seen-street-preaching-stand-biblical-marriage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NBA\u2019s<\/a> best teams.<\/p>\n<p>At 62-20 in the season, San Antonio <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/leagues\/NBA_2026.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">finished second<\/a> in the Western Conference behind the reigning champion Oklahoma City Thunder.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.basketball-reference.com\/teams\/SAS\/2026_games.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spurs<\/a> closed the season on an impressive hot streak. After a 111-106 loss to the Charlotte Hornets on Jan. 31, San Antonio stood at 32-16.
