Wembanyama Ejected for Flagrant 2 as Timberwolves Rally to Tie Series

League review of the foul could shape Game 5 in San Antonio.

Overview

  • Officials called a flagrant 2, the NBA's harshest in-game foul that brings an automatic ejection, on Victor Wembanyama for a second-quarter elbow to Naz Reid in Game 4 at Target Center.
  • Minnesota closed out a 114-109 win behind Anthony Edwards, who scored 36 points and poured in 16 in the fourth quarter to flip the game.
  • The ejection was the first of Wembanyama's NBA career in what was described as a highly physical playoff contest.
  • As he exited, Wembanyama clapped toward the home crowd in a gesture reporters described as provocative.
  • League discipline remains pending and could affect Game 5 in San Antonio with the series now tied 2-2.
