Victor Wembanyama was ejected for a flagrant foul during the first half of Game 4 on Sunday, May 10, 2026, after he fouled Naz Reid as Reid and Jaden McDaniels battled for a rebound in Minneapolis.
Reid fell to the court after the contact, while Anthony Edwards was later shown looking to shoot against Wembanyama in the same first half of the second-round playoffs game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The sequence turned a playoff possession into the kind of flash point that can tilt both a game and a series. photos from Minneapolis captured Wembanyama reacting after the ejection and Reid on the floor after the foul, images that told the story as quickly as the whistle did.
The ejection left the Spurs to continue without one of their central players in the biggest stretch of the game, and it put added pressure on a second-round matchup that was already moving fast and hard. The foul on Reid came while he was fighting with McDaniels for position under the basket, a reminder that playoff rebounds are often decided as much by force as by timing.
What happens next is simple enough to say and hard enough to manage: San Antonio has to play out the rest of Game 4 without Wembanyama if the suspension of momentum holds, and Minnesota gets a cleaner path to push the series on its home floor.
