Victor Wembanyama Victor Wembanyama

Victor Wembanyama, the San Antonio Spurs star, expressed frustration after being shoved to the ground by LA Clippers' Ivica Zubac in a 128-116 loss.

Wembanyama, who has faced rough treatment throughout the game, voiced his displeasure about unfair treatment from officials, stating he doesn’t believe he receives fair calls.

The tension escalated after Wembanyama blocked a dunk attempt by Zubac, who then retaliated with a forceful shove. Zubac later admitted his actions were driven by frustration over previous calls.

Despite the incident, no foul was called on Zubac, and no technical foul was issued to Wembanyama. Spurs acting head coach Mitch Johnson criticized the lack of protection for Wembanyama, emphasizing the need for stronger enforcement of rules.
