Wembanyama Ejected in First Career Flagrant 2 vs Timberwolves
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama received his first career ejection in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Officials upgraded a foul to a Flagrant 2 after video review showed Wembanyama's elbow strike to Naz Reid's chin. The incident occurred with 8:39 left in the first half at Target Center in Minneapolis on May 10, 2026.
Wembanyama swung his right elbow while shielding a rebound, knocking Reid to the floor. Spurs teammate Dylan Harper stood nearby. Officials initially called a common foul before reviewing replay amid crowd unrest, then issued the ejection.
Wembanyama recorded four points and four rebounds in 12 minutes before leaving. Reid made both free throws from the flagrant foul.
The NBA may review the play for additional discipline. The Spurs continued the road matchup without their star defender.
