In Game 5 of the NBA Finals on June 13, Victor Wembanyama faced scrutiny for a non-call foul against Jalen Brunson. Wembanyama contested Brunson's three-point shot but allegedly impeded Brunson's landing, resulting in Brunson landing on Wembanyama's foot. Despite Brunson's objections, referees did not issue a foul. Wembanyama, with three flagrant points already, risks a suspension if another foul is retroactively deemed flagrant. The game remains in progress, with the Spurs leading 70-58 late in the third quarter.
