Viktor Vembanjama faces NBA suspension after flagrant foul in Game 4 Spurs loss

French forward Viktor Vembanjama was assessed a flagrant‑1 foul on Karl‑Anthony Towns during the third quarter of Game 4 of the NBA Finals, a move that gave him his third intentional foul of the postseason and triggers an automatic one‑game suspension. The foul came as the San Antonio Spurs fell 107‑106 to the New York Knicks after surrendering a 29‑point lead.

Vembanjama finished the game with 24 points and 13 rebounds. Earlier in the playoffs he had received a flagrant‑2 foul and ejection but avoided suspension; the latest infraction puts his participation in the upcoming deciding game in doubt, potentially affecting the Spurs’ chance to stay alive in the series.
