Victor Wembanyama avoids flagrant foul after Jalen Brunson incident in Finals

In Game 3 of the 2026 NBA Finals, Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs shoved Jalen Brunson of the New York Knicks, leading to controversy. The incident occurred in the first quarter, shortly after which the Spurs won the game 115-111, reducing the Knicks' series lead to 2-1. Following the game, NBA officials confirmed that a foul was missed on the play, but Wembanyama will not face a retroactive flagrant foul or further discipline. This is the third instance this postseason where Wembanyama has avoided suspension, which raises questions about consistency in the league's disciplinary actions. Game 4 will be held on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, where the Spurs will aim to even the series.
