The Spurs fell short in their biggest game of the season, and after a lackluster individual performance Victor Wembanyama declined to speak with the press.
On many levels, it was a reminder that the 7-foot-4 alien is also a 22-year-old human being.

The NBA has officially warned Victor Wembanyama about violating media access rules, per a league source.
Wembanyama declined to address the media after the Spurs’ Game 5 loss last night in OKC.

All that is fine. Sometimes we’ve all still got to do our jobs even when we don’t feel like it.
He got a warning for shirking his duties. We move on, and hope he learns and grows from the experience.

Come on, man. The rules are rules for a reason. And I didn’t make them.
If he doesn’t want to follow the rules, ok, but there will be criticism, a league warning and (if it persists) a fine.
Again, I didn’t make the rules or the consequences.

Jeff McDonald (@ JMcDonald_SAEN):
Correct. The league acted appropriately.
He did hang his teammates out to dry by ducking postgame, though.
Like, I said hopefully a learning experience going forward.

We need bright yellow jerseys for NBA refs cuz Castle definitely thought James Capers was a Spurs teammate
Jeff McDonald (@ JMcDonald_SAEN):
Said this before … By Duncan’s last year, we barely saw him in the locker room after games.
But the 12 times a year the Spurs lost, he made a point of showing up and owning it, so guys like Patty Mills etc didn’t have to do it alone.
He saw it as his duty to shield those guys

It’s just an example.
But if your team leader and best player refuses to talk after a tough loss, other people have to do it for him. It just is what it is.
Jeff McDonald (@ JMcDonald_SAEN):
This honestly shouldn’t be that controversial.
He messed up. The league told him he messed up. It’s a good growing experience for a a 22-year-old who wants to be the face of a franchise and the NBA at large. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again in these playoffs.
That’s all.
