NO WAY WAS THE NBA GOING TO DO THE CORRECT THING AND UPGRADE WEMBY'S UNCALLED FOUL TO THE FLAGRANT ON JALEN BRUNSON THAT IT OBVIOUSLY GLARINGLY WAS. THE ALIEN IS NOW THE FACE OF THE LEAGUE, THE NEW RATINGS MAGNET, THE MOST PROTECTED PLAYER IN THE NBA. THIS IS EXHIBIT A.
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.

The delay in a ruling is because objectively it is clear that this is a Flagrant 2, but if the League rules it a Flagrant 2, then Wemby is suspended for the next game, which they clearly don’t want to do.
