President Donald Trump, who attended Game 3 of the NBA Finals, questioned a call where San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama made contact with New York Knicks guard Jalen Brunson. The referees did not blow the whistle for a foul on the play, despite objections from the Knicks bench.

NBA Policy and Suspension Risk

Under NBA policy, players are automatically subject to suspension once they receive four flagrant foul points. Wembanyama currently has fewer than four points and will not retroactively be assessed a flagrant upgrade on the uncalled foul, according to ESPN.

Trump told the New York Post, ‘I thought it was a very bad call. Absolutely. I thought it was a very bad call, personally. But I’m not the ref, you know?’ He also praised the players, saying, ‘Look, they’re pretty evenly matched, right? It’s two great teams. I’ll tell you, that Brunson is some player… They’re like great players. That’s why they’re there, right?’

Game 3 and the Series

The Spurs outlasted the Knicks 115-111 in Game 3, trimming the Knicks’ series lead to 2-1. The Spurs came out strong in Game 4, racing to a 41-22 lead by the end of the first quarter, with Wembanyama pacing San Antonio with 13 points in the opening period.
