Overview
- The ejection, issued Sunday after a video review with 8:39 left in the second quarter, came with Minnesota leading 36-34.
- Officials ruled a Flagrant 2 for an elbow that struck Naz Reid as Victor Wembanyama tried to break free from Jaden McDaniels, marking his first NBA ejection.
- Minnesota won 114-109 to tie the Western Conference semifinal 2-2, and the series now shifts to San Antonio for Game 5.
- Spurs coach Mitch Johnson called the elbow non-intentional and said referees have not protected Wembanyama from overly physical defense.
- The NBA will review the play for possible extra discipline, and a Flagrant 2 under league rules means unnecessary or excessive contact and an automatic ejection.
