Victor Wembanyama was ejected for the first time in his NBA career after elbowing Naz Reid during the San Antonio Spurs’ 114-109 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in game four of the Western Conference semi-finals, leveling the series at 2-2. Wembanyama’s foul was upgraded to a flagrant 2 following a video review, resulting in an automatic ejection and a fine. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson expressed concern over the lack of protection for Wembanyama, who had four points and four rebounds in the game. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks advanced to the Eastern Conference finals with a 144-114 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
