IPL 2026 | Why Raj Angad Bawa bowled the last over: Suryakumar Yadav explains bold call vs RCB
Suryakumar Yadav's bold call to let Bawa bowl the last over costs MI against RCB.

Victor Wembanyama was ejected in Game 4 after elbowing Naz Reid, leading to calls for a suspension. The incident occurred during a tense playoff series between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves.
The frustrations reached a boiling point for Victor Wembanyama as no calls throughout the series got to him. In Game 4 of the Conference Semifinals, the San Antonio Spurs star faced his first career ejection. But the unanimous DOPYâs troubles seemingly are not over, as netizens call for a suspension, which will put his participation at risk.
Wembanyama delivered a dominant Game 3 performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves with 39 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks. But the physicality in that game and this series became a serious problem for him to encounter. In Game 4, with just under nine minutes remaining in the second quarter, the Spurs center found a solution. He grabbed a rebound over Naz Reid and appeared to get hit as he gathered the ball while swarmed by Reid and Timberwolves wing Jaden McDaniels. Then bang.
Wembanyama looked at Reid and swung his elbow into Reidâs throat. The referees interjected quickly, and Terrence Shannon Jr. pulled Ried to the baseline to avoid any escalation. As the officials were reviewing the play, Timberwolves fans chanted, âThrow him out!â and that was the end result. âAfter a view there is wind up impact and follow through above the neck of an opponent. It is unnecessary and excessive in contact by Wembanyama it meets all the criteria that has been upgraded to a flagrant foul penalty 2. Wembanyama has been ejected,â said the referee.
Cameras panned to Wemby after the decision, and he asked, âWhat does it mean? Iâm ejected?â to his veteran teammate, Harrison Barnes. Then he got up cheered his teammates, high-fiving every player and staff member he could find on the bench. His ejection came with the Wolves holding a slim 2-point lead and backup center Luke Kornet struggling in his minutes for most of the series. The Spurs lead the Wolves 2-1 in the series. But this decision could affect the following game too.
A Flagrant 2 does not automatically mean a suspension, but the NBA can review dangerous plays and issue additional discipline when warranted. It was against the Trail Blazers in Games 2 and 3 when the Spurs played without their star center due to concussion protocol. But this time, itâs his decision that the netizens want to be strict against.
Wembanyama was ejected for delivering an elbow to Naz Reid's throat after a rebound, which was deemed unnecessary and excessive contact.
While a Flagrant 2 foul does not automatically result in a suspension, the NBA can review the incident and impose additional discipline if deemed necessary.
In Game 3, Wembanyama had an impressive performance, scoring 39 points, grabbing 15 rebounds, and blocking five shots.
The San Antonio Spurs lead the Minnesota Timberwolves 2-1 in the series, but Wembanyama's ejection could impact the upcoming games.

Wemby first gets hit by Jaden McDaniels in the face, and it was perhaps this frustration that led to the elbow. This still ainât an automatic suspension, for now it remains an ejection and a minimum fine of $2,000. But fans are asking for more. âThis should be a suspension. 2 games. minimum. Honestly, if Iâm the league, I might consider a 250k fine and you get to play next season This is dangerous. He looked him in the eye, thought about it and elbowed a guy in the throat.â One Timberwolves fan did not ask for a one-game suspension; instead, they stated for more. âHe should be given 3 games ban.â
We have already seen in the 2023 playoffs, when Draymond Green was first ejected for stepping on the chest of Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis. Later, the league suspended the Warriors veteran for one game and docked his pay. And a fan wants a similar decision. âNot only ejected but should be suspended next game đ¤ˇââď¸.â This was a clear indication of frustration getting to the 22-year-oldâs head. Just in the last game, Wemby was upset about a no-foul call on a play.
First, he was somewhat pinned by Rudy Gobert when they were fighting for a rebound. And then the Spurs star was seemingly held back by Anthony Edwards, who pulled his jersey. Again in Game 4, there were calls that did not go in Victor Wembanyamaâs favor, and he took it out on Ried. Thatâs why fans are not backing down. âThats ejection and suspension. F ing despicable!!!â
As the official said that was a wind-up, and the actions were serious and intentional, another netizen pointed out that this should lead to a suspension. âObvious ejection and tbh suspension too. Thereâs no basketball play, wind up and follow thru and itâs way beyond what the play called for. Frustration got to him.â Now we await the leagueâs decision.
