Draymond Green says San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has likely “done enough” to warrant a suspension during the 2026 NBA Finals, while also acknowledging the league’s decision to keep him available. Multiple reports say Green points to the physical and controversial nature of Wembanyama’s play during the series against the New York Knicks, as well as the unusual opportunity the NBA has given him to remain on the court.
One Yahoo Sports report adds that Green expects a suspension following Wembanyama’s next flagrant foul. Another Yahoo Sports and NDTV accounts describe Green as saying Wembanyama probably deserved a suspension at some point, but that the NBA made the right call in the moment by not sidelining him ahead of Game 5.
The coverage also mentions Green’s view of the NBA’s handling of earlier incidents, including an episode in Game 3 involving a shot at Knicks player Jalen Brunson that Green says appeared to receive leniency. Overall, the sources align that Green believes Wembanyama should have been suspended previously or at least could be soon, even as he supports the league’s current approach.
