And should be considered for a flagrant because of the dangerous nature of a foul holding onto a guy's leg/ ankle while he's jumping.
First image his legs are apart. Second image you can see Shai closes his legs around Victor's leg to where his knees are basically touching. Inexcusable and dangerous

This is why Fox was complaining. SGA was on his Draymond Green. It was clearly a foul, SMH.
Very dangerous. Was the Spurs bench asleep? Coach should have been all in the ref’s face about that.
Yeah fuck shai for this. He’s usually not one to try and straight hurt people like that, but wemby is wayyyy too tall to not take this as shai purposely trying to hurt wemby
Hell this might be cause for a flagrant. Wemby could’ve gotten hurt if he twisted his leg
I doubt it was intentional, but it was definitely a foul
The commentators were like ‘how was that not called?’ …they fouing Wemby AND Kornet and not calling them (frustrating)
Regardless if it’s intentional/dirty it’s just so clearly dangerous and a foul? I simply do not understand what about Wemby gives the NBA zero impulse to protect him like other stars
I don’t think it was intentional but a foul is still a foul.
Gonna get downvoted, but devils advocate here. Prolly protecting his nuts. If someone has their legs between mine during sports, I instinctively cross my knees a bit to try to brace or protect them. SGA not one to be dirty and they seemed to discuss it a bit after and nodded in some agreement.
Ohh this angle makes it super obvious. I couldn’t really see it in real time.
Definetely a flagrant foul wow.
I definetely don’t think Shai did it intentionally but that could have been wayy more serious.
Zaza can go to hell.
it’s a dangerous play from SGA but bruh cmon if a 10 foot alien is above me and CLOSE to stepping on my nuts, I’d probably react the same to protect them lmao let’s just be realistic here..it’s not intentional from SGA
I fucking hate that team. I swear every minute, they get a free throw
He trapped Wemby’s foot. Should have been a foul. But its OKC, good thing Vic didnt get called for offensive foul.
Put Sochan in and let him put SGA on the ground a few times
Mitch Johnson letting barnes do cardio bro sub him out
Venus shai trap
No reason for you to pin his leg with your knees unless you’re trying to be dirty lol
Bro was making a “business decision” and protecting his nuts!
Typical Spurs game this season. It’s them against their opponents and the refs.
I’ve been watching the Spurs since the mid 80’s and the number of fouls not called against their opponents this season is ridiculous. Castle alone is lucky to get one call in five drives to the basket. I’ve lost count how many times Wemby has been fouled and nothing is called. At least he’s man enough to not complain like LeBron James does on every shot. Doncic is just as bad.
OKC keeps making dirty moves targeting Wemby’s knees. It’s a trend at this point.
That dirty play seemed to get OKC rolling. Spurs finished the 2nd quarter badly and we know what happened in the 3rd.
A bad night for ethical basketball.
Could be worse, however, as Spurs fans know (**Zaza Pachulia).**
I thought he was just protecting his nuts honestly.
They literally called Castle for this after taking heavy contact on a drive.
NBA officiating is the most inconsistent sh*t in the world…
And yes, this works both ways.

It’s stupid cuz they called that same play later on the spurs
Lmao like Wemby jumping into krich and getting reviewed for a flagrant? Keep crying
THEY are the dirtiest team in the NBA , Their game plan was Throw elboys and step on feet all night
DIRTIEST TEAM IN THE NBA
What’s funny is that Castle gets called for the same thing. Even though the guy clearly got bumped and fell down.
This could’ve easily ended Wemby’s season if he fell the wrong way, locking someone’s leg like that without them realising is almost similar to what happened to Jokic
A no call when SGA does it to Wemby, but it’s a foul on Castle when Chet does it to Castle?
Bro was trying to protect his balls
There’s a lot of teams who have suddenly committed to beating on Wembanyama, and today officials were letting it go. THIS is the primary reason to keep Sochan. He should become a role player, whose purpose is to give it back to them.
it is a foul. it’s a natural reaction though to close your legs if someone is about to step on your jewels. sga was lucky too, if it was one of his teammates and they didn’t see him, someone might have crushed him already.
i like what castle did and just went with it to make everyone remember sga discovered another sga exclusive loophole again.
I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he was protecting his jewels.
Refs said play on
