on Wemby...no denying that elbow was on purpose with intent to inflict pain...maybe a suspension for Game 5...

A flagrant foul 2 carries a minimum fine of $2,000 and is reviewed by the league office for possible supplemental discipline...

that's paltry...but I guess "minimum" is the key word...could be higher...

While Spurs coach Mitch Johnson didn't condone Wembanyama's actions,

he said after San Antonio's 114-109 loss that officials could do a better job of protecting the 22-year-old big man from the "physicality" routinely imposed on him by opponents...

Coach is really trying to flip what actually happened...

Edwards had a monster game. MN is a dangerous team but I think the Spurs hang on. OKC is another matter. The elbow was blatant but I don't want to see a playoff series influenced by any type of suspension. If there is a suspension, it should be applied next season.

"There will be no further discipline for Spurs star Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in Minnesota on Sunday night, sources tell ESPN. No suspension, no fine. Wembanyama will play in Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Tuesday night in San Antonio."

GEGJ NBA.

What a clownshow.

that Mixed Martial elbow shot to the face which was done on purpose looks like it will overlooked for viewership...
one of the hardest shots I have ever seen with an elbow...
I love Wemby...but he lost his cool and threw a very cheap shot...

a next season 1 game suspension serves no purpose...

The rational for this is "That's out of character for him, not something he's ever done before."

So he gets a pass.

Kermit Washington never raced down the court and coldcocked someone.

Until he did.

Talk about protecting the face of the NBA.

Disgusting.

Between nonsense like this and the emphasis on the 3 point shot in todays game, I'm becoming less and less of a fan of the game.

Well, I’m glad they don’t do this in court on first time murder charges… you screw up you gotta pay the piper…

Would love to hear the commissioners reasoning behind this; what if he clocked the guy in the head and knocked him unconscious/he hit the court passed out and fractured his skull or he hit him in the eye, shattered his eye socket and blinded the guy?

He should be suspended for the rest of the series.

I hope San Antonio loses the series.

Imagine if that standard was applied to the 80s Pistons? Those were the good old days. I remember Kevin McHale clotheslining Kurt Rambis in the playoffs and almost taking his head off.

The Lakers game tonight is on Prime and doesn't start until 10:30 EST. I guess they don't want anyone on the East coast to watch. Maybe that's for the best. I can't even use my DVR to tape Prime.

I am a Spurs and Warriors fan.

I rage when fouls are committed against “my” teams.

But I am not a hypocrite.

So when Wemby or Draymond Green commit flagrant or violent fouls they deserve a suspension.

No excuses, no explanations based on the fact that they play for my home team.
