Victor Wembanyama expressed frustration over physical play and a perceived lack of calls during the Spurs' loss to the Clippers. The incident involved a shove from Clippers' Ivica Zubac after Wembanyama blocked his attempted dunk. Wembanyama felt that the physicality directed towards him was unfair and that he shouldn't have to fight against it.
after the Los Angeles center shoved him to the court during the Clippers' 128-116 victory over the Spurs on Wednesday night.
Zubac flailed his arms in frustration and was late defensively, watching as Barnes tossed in a 3-pointer that cut the Clippers lead to 85-78. Still, Zubac rushed into the paint as the shot was up and gave a hard hip check and elbow to Wembanyama's back, sending him flying to the baseline. "I reacted a little," Zubac said."I thought I got fouled . I was mad at the refs. So, then I was late . I saw it going up. I saw Wemby crashing, so I knew I had to box him out. I bumped him a little harder. I let emotions take over a little bit, but I apologized to him. That's not the way I want to be on the court and compete."Despite Zubac's shove, no foul was called.
