Victor Wembanyama was ejected from Game 4 against the Minnesota Timberwolves after officials handed him a Flagrant 2 foul following contact with Naz Reid.
The incident occurred in the second quarter, and Wembanyama's reaction to the ejection surfaced on social media, with fans slamming him for asking 'idiotic' questions.
According to the NBA's officiating guidelines, a Flagrant 2 foul is categorized as 'unnecessary and excessive' contact, carrying two free throws, possession for the opposing team, and immediate removal from the game.
The play instantly shifted momentum in the series, and without Wembanyama, Minnesota gained far more freedom attacking the paint.
Attention now turns toward possible league discipline ahead of Game 5, with the NBA reviewing the play to determine whether further punishment is necessary.
