NBA rules no flagrant foul for Victor Wembanyama on Jalen Brunson
Summary

Wembanyama, who pushed Brunson down in the first quarter, will remain at two flagrant points in the postseason. The league's senior vice president admitted officials missed the call, but the lack of a ruling raises questions about the league's integrity, especially as the Spurs lead the series against the Knicks.
