Victor Wembanyama is in the clear.

The San Antonio Spurs superstar will not be suspended, or even fined, after he was ejected from Sunday night’s 114-109 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals, ESPN reported.

Wembanyama was charged with a flagrant 2 foul, resulting in an automatic ejection, for elbowing Minnesota center Naz Reid in the head/neck area.

The incident occurred with 8:39 remaining in the second quarter after Wembanyama corralled an offensive rebound and got tangled up with Reid and Minnesota’s Jaden McDaniels.

After a review, Wembanyama was assessed the flagrant 2 and appeared to ask teammate Harrison Barnes from the bench, “What does that mean?”

Wembanyama’s ejection — the first in his three-year NBA career — came amid a tense series in which Reid and teammate Julius Randle have played with hyper-physicality.

“The amount of physicality that people play with him, at some level, you have to protect yourself,” Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson said after Sunday’s loss in Minneapolis.

“It’s starting to get actually disgusting in terms of when he tries to fight through things and be professional and mature and deal with some of that stuff. I’m glad he took matters into his own hands. Not in terms of hitting Naz Reid … but he’s going to have to protect himself if they’re not.”

Wembanyama, 22, is eligible to return for Tuesday night’s Game 5 in San Antonio, but the 7-4 center’s absence loomed large Sunday as the Timberwolves evened the best-of-seven series at 2-2.
