What happened: Victor Wembanyama was ejected in the second quarter of Game 4 after officials assessed a flagrant-2 for an elbow to Naz Reid, according to SportsCenter. The incident came with San Antonio leading the Western Conference semifinal series 2-1 over Minnesota entering Sunday night's game.

Why it matters: The call strips San Antonio of its top interior force in a swing game with the Timberwolves trying to avoid a 3-1 hole. It also halts the momentum of Wembanyama, who had just posted 39 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks in the Spurs' 115-108 Game 3 win.

By the numbers: Series entering Game 4: Spurs lead Timberwolves 2-1 in the Western Conference semifinals. Game 3 data: Wembanyama had 39 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks; Naz Reid had 18 points and 9 rebounds.

What to watch: Watch for any postgame explanation from crew chief officials and for whether the league reviews the play for further discipline. The immediate impact is on the rest of Game 4 and whether Minnesota can turn the ejection into a series-leveling win.
