Draymond Green Calls Victor Wembanyama 'A Bit Dirty' With One Point From Suspension

The remarks raise fresh questions about Wembanyama's playoff conduct and the NBA's enforcement one game before the Knicks can close out the Finals in San Antonio.

Overview

  • The New York Knicks rallied from a 29-point deficit in Game 4 on Saturday to win and take a 3-1 lead in the 2026 NBA Finals, leaving them one win from the title.
  • Victor Wembanyama has accumulated three flagrant/penalty points in the playoffs and is one more point away from an automatic one-game suspension.
  • Video of a contested screen on OG Anunoby in Game 4 and earlier elbow incidents involving Karl-Anthony Towns and Naz Reid have driven the review of Wembanyama's on-court actions.
  • On Saturday Draymond Green said on his show that Wembanyama and European players are “a bit dirty” and suggested the NBA has been protecting him, and Green also issued an on-air apology to Jalen Brunson after Game 4.
  • If Wembanyama receives another flagrant point the Spurs could lose their best player for the next game, a development that would change the competitive balance of a series the Knicks can finish in San Antonio.
