No flagrant upgrade on the uncalled foul of Spurs' Victor Wembanyama to Knicks' Jalen Brunson on Monday night, a league spokesperson tells ESPN. Wembanyama will stay at two flagrant points in postseason.
NBA fans online are speculating that the referees are avoiding giving Victor Wembanyama a Flagarant foul as he will be SUSPENDED for his next one 🥸
Players are suspended for a game once they accumulate three flagarant foul points in the playoffs. Wembanyama already has TWO after he picked up a Flagarant 2 foul for elbowing Naz Reid in the neck in the Western Conference Semi-finals 💀
Fans posted multiple clips of Wembanyama committing 'dirty' fouls throughout this playoffs that have gone uncalled.
NEW YORK: We’re back outside the Garden.
We have approved a ticketed MSG watch party for Game 4. More details soon.
As we prepare to watch together, let me be clear: this is a historic, joyful moment for our city. We will not allow it to be disrupted by violence.
Be safe, take care, and celebrate responsibly.
Knicks in 5.
Couldn't agree more. We'll win this series on the court (even if the refs refuse to call a flagrant on Wemby), not by targeting, harassing, or attacking Spurs fans.

Just for the record the @NBA@OfficialNBARefs are allowed to review plays after the game and assess flagrant fouls retroactively. Even if you wanted to ignore this one since Brunson’s identical flagrant was a dumb call anyway, Wemby’s Game 2 foul on Jose Alvarado and shove of Brunson this game would make him suspended if he wasn’t the league’s golden boy
