Wembanyama Reaches 3 Flagrant Points, Moves 1 From Suspension

Summary
Victor Wembanyama picked up his second flagrant foul of the postseason in San Antonio's 107-106 Game 4 Finals loss, leaving him one point short of an automatic suspension.
With 9:27 left in the third quarter, officials assessed a Flagrant 1 after Wembanyama elbowed Karl-Anthony Towns in the chin during a tie-up near the 3-point line.
Those three postseason flagrant points include a Flagrant 2 against Minnesota's Naz Reid in the West semifinals, when excessive contact above the neck led to Wembanyama's ejection.
The latest ruling adds to scrutiny from Game 3, when the NBA later deemed his shove of Jalen Brunson a foul but declined to upgrade it to a flagrant.
