Tensions flared during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on Monday, June 10, when New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson swung an elbow that caught San Antonio Spurs standout Victor Wembanyama.
The play unfolded beneath the basket early in the contest, immediately drawing the attention of officials and sparking animated reactions from both rosters. Referees halted action to address the contact, and tempers momentarily rose as teammates rushed in to separate the two 7-footers.
Robinson was assessed a foul for the elbow, while Wembanyama remained in the game after a brief check by team trainers. No ejections were issued, and play resumed after the short delay.
At the time of the incident, the Spurs held a narrow lead, with the best-of-seven series hanging in the balance.
