Victor Wembanyama absolutely should be suspended after Spurs star's flagrant elbow
Will Victor Wembanyama be suspended for the flagrant foul 2 thanks to an elbow to Naz Reid? He should be.
Victor Wembanyama could be facing NBA discipline for a blatant, dangerous elbow that nailed Naz Reid in the neck in Game 4 of the San Antonio Spurs playoff game against the Minnesota Timerwolves. There's no doubt he should be suspended a game for his actions. That wasn't just a run-of-the-mill elbow in the middle of a basketball move that just happened to catch his opponent.
You can see it in the replays: Wemanyama rears back and lets Reid have it. The move appears retaliatory as Reid and the Spurs center get tangled up trying to get a rebound. Wemby gets hit by Jaden McDaniels in the face, and it was perhaps his frustration that led to the elbow to the wrong player.
Doesn't matter who got it -- the elbow was dangerous. With all of that in mind, it's simple: A one-game suspension so that this doesn't happen again and the young superstar learns a lesson that you can't retaliate like that and so violently. Wemby ejected for elbowing Naz Reid in the face š³ pic.
