The decision was watched, awaited, impatiently by Victor Wembanyama’s fans… and by his opponents too. She fell. Excluded during match 4 of the Western Conference semi-finals, played on the night of Sunday to Monday and won (114-109) by the Wolves who equalize at 2 victories everywhere in the series, for having elbowed an opposing player, the Frenchie of the Spurs did not receive any additional sanction.
After examining the file and the match referees’ report, the American Basketball League office considered that the exclusion was sufficient. “Wemby” will therefore be able to participate in the 5th match of the series on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday (2 a.m. in France).
A “level 2 flagrant foul”
As a reminder, Wembanyama was excluded, for the first time in his career, during the second quarter of the duel against the Minnesota Timberwolves, for having elbowed an opposing player, Naz Reid, in the neck and jaw, while trying to escape defensive pressure.
A “flagrant level 2 foul” for “useless and excessive contact” according to the match referees who therefore did not hesitate to exclude Wembanyama from the field. The sanction for a player guilty of a level 2 flagrant foul could range from a simple fine to a suspension for one or more matches.
