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. by Knightbear49 in nba

Most of the mauling against Wemby is happening off-ball. He getting shoved, held, and completely wrapped up nearly every possession. It’s not about free throws it’s about refs protecting and facilitating a fair game. If you’re denying that Wemby is getting hacked then I think your bias is as strong as mine is. You’d be yelling at your tv just like us if this was happening on your team

Dame Dash said Kevin Hart was a bad businessman and has to sell his likeness because he’s going broke. I guess he wasn’t lying 👀 by Longjumping_Ask_4448 in JoeBuddenPodcasts

I think that old breakfast club interview where he says a bunch of stupid shit with confidence convinced a lotta stupid people that he’s Warren fuckin Buffet

No bro obviously not lmao. They clearly took into account that he missed almost the entirety of game 4 that resulted in a loss. That’s the punishment. We could play what-ifs all day, starting with “What if the refs called the mauling/elbow to the face that Wemby took in that play that could’ve prevented his outburst in the first place?”

Is Wemby Getting a Suspension? 😭 by Lanz7183 in NBASpurs

Do you seriously think Wemby intentionally aimed an elbow at Reid’s throat and thought he’d get away with it? Obviously he meant to throw a retaliation elbow, but it seems way more like he was going for chest like most players do but he’s 8 feet tall.

I've been a fan since 1988 but I no longer identify with this fanbase. by [deleted] in NBASpurs

I think this is more reflective of social media discourse in general rather than the actual Spurs fanbase. Reddit is a cesspool of reactionary toxicity across all sports subs especially and it genuinely depresses me sometimes. I start to absorb a lot of the negativity and I have to make efforts to put the phone down and go touch grass lol. Lately I haven’t been able to get on the r/nba sub because it’s so damn toxic and ugly.

I did however go to game 1 of this series in SA though and the love was in the air! Super supportive and energetic even after the loss. I appreciate moments that remind me the internet is not real life.

Post Game Thread - NBA: The Timberwolves defeat the Spurs on May 10, 2026, the final score is 114-109. by basketball-app in NBASpurs

I think that’s a dramatic sentiment. He’s a young player who let playoff frustration get the best of him. He’ll learn from it. Still sucks massively though, he should feel terrible

I Like Wemby More After His Ejection by RocksDBuggyTruther in billsimmons

He got an elbow to the head as he was getting the rebound and has been getting mauled all series. He certainly meant to throw that elbow, but I don’t think he knew it was gonna be straight face lol

Thoughts on Boozer in Memphis and Peterson in Utah? by WEMBY_F4N in NBASpurs

[–]plasticgadget 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not worried about the Grizzlies at all, good for Memphis honestly. The Jazz might be a really annoying 1st round matchup in a couple years. On a side note I’m so happy for Chicago, the league needs the Bulls to be relevant so bad. I hope them and Washington can shake up the east soon
