What happened: Victor Wembanyama was assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for an elbow to Karl-Anthony Towns during San Antonio’s 107-106 Game 4 loss. The ruling brings Wembanyama to three flagrant points this postseason, placing him on the verge of a league-mandated one-game absence.

Why it matters: The situation mirrors Draymond Green's 2016 Finals suspension, which many believe cost the Warriors a championship. With the Knicks now holding a 3-1 lead, any further disciplinary action against Wembanyama could effectively end the Spurs' title hopes.

What to watch: Wembanyama must avoid all flagrant contact in Game 5 to stay active for the remainder of the series.
