Wembanyama Ejected for Elbowing Reid in Throat

Victor Wembanyama was ejected from the San Antonio Spurs' clash against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night for elbowing Naz Reid in the throat.

The incident occurred after Wembanyama secured the ball and was grappling to maintain possession. Seemingly losing his composure, the Frenchman swung his elbow backward in frustration, striking Reid on the side of the neck.

Following the ejection decision, Wembanyama appeared to ask a coach, 'What does that mean?' before pointing to himself and inquiring, 'I'm ejected?'
