In Game 4, with 8:39 remaining in the second quarter, Wembanyama grabs a rebound while being surrounded. He swings his elbow and hits Naz Reid in the neck with a Flagrant 2 foul. Upon review, it’s deemed excessive, and he’s given an automatic ejection, his first.

Spurs vs Timberwolves Prediction: Star Power at Game 6
Even though these teams are separated as a No. 2 seed and a No. 6 seed, they are well-matched on the court. The difference between a win and a loss depends on one player on each team.
Victor Wembanyama and Anthony Edwards will battle to see which star can outshine the other. Their performances will turn the tide and decide who wins. Currently, Wembanyama is expected to edge out Edwards as the Spurs are 4.5-point favorites to win in Game 6.
Our Spurs vs Timberwolves prediction is that the Spurs will win in Minnesota 114-108, to complete the series and move on to the Conference Finals.
