Why Victor Wembanyama Is at Risk of Suspension in NBA Finals After Latest Flagrant Foul
The league said no fine or suspension will follow, leaving Wembanyama with two postseason flagrant points after the review.
- On Tuesday, the NBA confirmed it will not upgrade San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama's shove of New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson to a flagrant foul after reviewing Monday's Game 3.
