0 During the recent game between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks, Victor Wembanyama, who is believed to be the strong contender for the Rookie of the Year award, was fined a hefty amount of $25,000 for throwing a ball towards a fan.
The incident took place in the fourth quarter of the game when Victor hugged the ball, just like Tim Duncan’s iconic celebration, to keep the ball away from Jalen Brunson. However, he threw the ball into the Spurs crowd, resulting in a fine.
It is worth noting that Wemby had already received a ridiculous technical foul against OKC not too long ago, where he bounced the ball a bit over his head and was fined $2,000 by the NBA.
Despite Jalen Brunson’s career-high 61 points, the Knicks failed to secure a win against the West’s worst team and lost by 4 points. However, it was Wemby who stole the show, putting up an outstanding performance with a final stat line of 40 points, 20 rebounds, and 7 assists.
