Yeaah, I’m not gonna defend that elbow, even if Wemby truly didn’t expect Naz’s head to be there. That’s definitely a flagrant 2. Dammit, Wemby should’ve controlled himself even though the Wolves are being incredibly physical with him. Ref should’ve also called the foul earlier so it wouldn’t come to that.

I want to give Wemby the benefit of the doubt, throwing an elbow into someone’s chest after a rebound is pretty common. Replay looks like he did it on purpose though, obviously in real speed its impossible to say, flagrant 2 either way.
You ever Wemby pull some dirty shit before? They might suspend him for the next game it looked that bad. If this is a first time thing that’s probably way less likely.

He has no history so I’m hoping it’s just a fine and no suspension. Either way, he only has himself to blame. This game was 100% in the bag if he wasn’t ejected.

I’d be shocked if there’s a suspension. Most I feel is likely is a fine of like $35k, and probably less to be honest.

Silver lining is Spurs have a winning record without Wemby in the regular season, so there’s hope they can still pull this off.
