正如预期，据 ESPN 的夏姆斯·查拉尼亚 (Shams Charania) 报道，在对阵明尼苏达森林狼的第四场比赛中，维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 因肘击纳兹·里德 (Naz Reid) 的喉部区域被驱逐出场，但 NBA 之后将不会对其采取进一步的处罚措施。
消息人士告诉 ESPN，马刺球星文班亚马在周日晚上于明尼苏达因肘击纳兹·里德被驱逐后，将不会受到进一步的纪律处分。没有禁赛，没有罚款。文班亚马将参加周二晚上在圣安东尼奥进行的对阵森林狼的第五场比赛。pic.twitter.com/GOGCbIcbQP

这一事件发生在第二节还剩 8 分 39 秒时，文班抢下了一个进攻篮板，里德和杰登·麦克丹尼尔斯 (Jaden McDaniels) 正不断下手抢球并贴在他身上。文班随后挥动肘部击中了里德的喉部。经过录像回放，主裁判扎克·扎巴 (Zach Zarba) 认定，该动作满足了意图、蓄力动作和随挥动作这三个关键点，符合二级恶意犯规的标准，导致其职业生涯首次被驱逐出场。
虽然主教练米奇·约翰逊 (Mitch Johnson) 明确表示他并不认为这一动作本身是合理的，但他赛后还是力挺文班，表达了对裁判判罚的不满，并指出球员在文班身上被允许的大量身体接触和对抗导致了这一局面的发生，即便他自己可能会因此面临罚款。
“考虑到人们对他施加的身体对抗程度，在某种程度上，你必须保护自己。在球场的每一个角落，每一次进攻，人们都在试图对他施加身体对抗。他在快攻中自由奔跑时会被推倒。我们不抱怨，因为我们只想打球。我们真的不在乎。但在某个阶段，他应该受到保护。如果没有，他就必须保护自己，不幸的是，这样的事情就发生了。
“当他试图克服困难、表现得专业且成熟地处理这些事情时，情况开始变得令人厌恶。我很高兴他采取了行动。不是指击打纳兹·里德，而是如果他们不保护他，他就必须保护自己。我认为这很令人厌恶。”
据报道，文班在半场休息时对队友们进行了鼓励。值得称赞的是，马刺在失去明星中锋的情况下并没有崩溃或放弃比赛（尽管卡梅隆·安东尼 (Carmelo Anthony) 在 NBC 的半场节目中愚蠢地建议他们应该这样做——也许这种心态解释了为什么他自己从未进过总决赛）。相反，他们顶住了最初的压力，依靠明星后卫在下半场取得了 9 分的领先，直到安东尼·爱德华兹 (Anthony Edwards) 在第四节发起了那种感觉无法阻挡的猛攻。马刺没有足够的剩余时间来挽回局面，最终以 109-114 告负，系列赛总比分战成 2-2。
好消息是，文班在避免禁赛后将可以出战第五场。考虑到这是一个相当标准的二级恶犯（或者至少在二级恶犯中算标准的），没有额外的多余动作，这并不令人意外。此外，我们已经看到尼古拉·约基奇 (Nikola Jokic) 在上一轮对阵同一支球队时试图挥拳却未被禁赛，还有几次更严重的犯规也没有导致禁赛。尽管文班必须支付二级恶犯自带的 2000 美元强制罚款，但他此前没有此类行为的记录（不像德雷蒙德·格林 (Draymond Green) 或以赛亚·斯图尔特 (Isaiah Stewart)，我们曾见过他们因“惯犯”身份被禁赛），这可能也对他有利。
说到格林，有一件事可能不会影响文班，但他必须铭记在心，那就是 NBA 的技术积分累计制度：在季后赛中累计达到 7 分会导致球员被禁赛，其中二级恶犯计 2 分，一级恶犯或技术犯规计 1 分。虽然他极不可能达到 7 分，但希望这仍能成为他学习和成长的契机。
系列赛将于周二在圣安东尼奥继续进行。由于尼克斯横扫了 76 人，因此没有双赛日的冲突，开球时间将定在更理想的中部时间晚上 7:00（而不是 8:30），由 NBC 和 Peacock 直播。（第六场比赛可能另当别论，取决于克利夫兰对阵底特律的系列赛是否会打到第六场，但至少那是在周五。）

As expected, the NBA will not be taking any further action against Victor Wembanyama after he was ejected from Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves for elbowing Naz Reid in the throat area, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

The incident occurred with 8:39 left in the second quarter, after Wemby had grabbed an offensive rebound, and Reid and Jaden McDaniels were swiping and draped all over him. Wemby then swung his elbow and hit Reid in the throat, and after video review, head referee Zach Zarba determined that the three key points of intent, wind-up and follow-through were met to meet the criteria of a Flagrant 2 foul, resulting in him being ejected from the game for the first time in his NBA career.
While making it clear that he did not justify the play itself, head coach Mitch Johnson had Wemby’s back after the game, stating his frustration with the officiating and how the amount of contact and physicality players are allowed to get away with on him led up to this point, perhaps at the risk of his own fine.
“Just the amount of physicality that people play with him, at some level, you have to protect yourself. Every single play on every single part of the floor, people are trying to impose their physicality on you. He’s gotten pushed down in transition, running freely. We don’t complain because we’re just going to play. We don’t really give a s—. But at some stage, he should be protected. If not, he’s going to have to protect himself, and unfortunately, stuff like that happens.
“It’s starting to get disgusting in terms of when he tries to fight through things, be professional and mature and deal with some of that stuff. I’m glad he took matters into his own hands. Not in terms of hitting Naz Reid, but he’s going to have to protect himself if they’re not. And I think it’s disgusting.”
Wemby reportedly had words of encouragement for his teammates at halftime, and to the Spurs’ credit, they didn’t fold or give up on the game without their star center (despite Carmelo Anthony’s idiotic suggestion that they should during NBC’s halftime show — perhaps that mindset is an insight into why he never even made the finals himself). Instead, they weathered the initial storm and rode their star guards to a 9-point second-half lead before what felt like an inevitable Anthony Edwards fourth-quarter storm, and they didn’t have quite enough time recover, resulting in a 109-114 loss with the series tied at 2-2.
The good news is Wemby will be available for Game 5 after avoiding suspension. That shouldn’t be a surprise considering it was a pretty standard flagrant 2 (or at least as standard as a flagrant 2 can be) without anything extra, plus we already saw Nikola Jokic attempt to throw a punch against this same team in the last round with no suspension, as well as several far more egregious fouls that didn’t lead to suspension, although Wemby will have to pay the mandatory fine of $2,000 that comes with a flagrant 2. His case is likely also helped by the fact that has no prior history of such acts (unlike Draymond Green or Isaiah Stewart, whom we’ve seen receive “repeat offender” suspensions in the past).
Speaking of Green, one thing that likely won’t impact Wemby but he will have to keep in mind is the NBA’s technical counter, which can lead to a player being suspended after accumulating 7 points in the playoffs, with 2 points for Flagrant 2’s and one point for Flagrant 1’s or technical fouls. While it is extremely unlikely he will reach 7 points, hopefully this is still something he learns and grows from.
The series will resume on Tuesday in San Antonio. Thanks to the Knicks sweeping the 76ers, there is no double-header to contend with, so tip-off will be at the preferred time of 7:00 PM CT (instead 8:30) on NBC and Peacock. (Game 6 may be another story, depending on if Cleveland vs. Detroit reaches a Game 6, but at least that’s on Friday.)
