Draymond Green Blasts NBA Over 0-Game Penalty for Wembanyama's Flagrant 2

7 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 12

Green said the NBA shortchanged Minnesota by giving Victor Wembanyama no suspension or fine after his Game 4 Flagrant 2 elbow to Naz Reid’s neck.
Sunday’s ejection came in San Antonio’s series-tying loss in Minneapolis, where Wembanyama’s first career playoff ejection followed a replay-reviewed swing that drew early suspension speculation.
Green argued the league would have punished the play more harshly if the roles were reversed, citing recent fines for Jaden McDaniels and Nikola Jokic as lighter precedents.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson defended Wembanyama after the game, saying repeated physical play against the star had become “disgusting” and forced him to protect himself.
Game 5 shifts back Tuesday with the series 2-2, and Green warned the NBA’s decision could inflame retaliation fears in an already heated matchup.
