The NBA announced it will not retroactively classify Victor Wembanyama's foul on Jalen Brunson as a flagrant foul during Game 3 of the NBA Finals. 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. The decision has sparked controversy among fans and analysts, who argue it reflects bias toward San Antonio.
