Silver lining is Spurs have a winning record without Wemby in the regular season, so there’s hope they can still pull this off.
Yeaah, I’m not gonna defend that elbow, even if Wemby truly didn’t expect Naz’s head to be there. That’s definitely a flagrant 2. Dammit, Wemby should’ve controlled himself even though the Wolves are being incredibly physical with him. Ref should’ve also called the foul earlier so it wouldn’t come to that.
I want to give Wemby the benefit of the doubt, throwing an elbow into someone’s chest after a rebound is pretty common. Replay looks like he did it on purpose though, obviously in real speed its impossible to say, flagrant 2 either way.
You ever Wemby pull some dirty shit before? They might suspend him for the next game it looked that bad. If this is a first time thing that’s probably way less likely.
I’d be shocked if there’s a suspension. Most I feel is likely is a fine of like $35k, and probably less to be honest.
He has no history so I’m hoping it’s just a fine and no suspension. Either way, he only has himself to blame. This game was 100% in the bag if he wasn’t ejected.

I tuned in on the 3rd quarter just as NY extended the lead to 30. I don’t watch the Sixers often. Where do they go from here? I guess build around Maxey and VJ. They probably should trade Embiid while he’s healthy (aka able to play at the moment).
IDK if they can move that Embiid contract. He’s signed for the next 3 season on a max contract and he hasn’t been healthy his whole career and he won’t be getting any healthier as he ages.

Paul George is also making like 55m the next two season leaving little to no cap space.
