San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama and Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook figured in a spirited exchange during the Spurs' narrow 113-110 road win on Friday. The alleged interaction between the two stars was posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
Late in the second quarter, Wembanyama attempted a layup and was fouled by Westbrook. The 6-foot-3 Westbrook flew over the 7-foot-3 Wembanyama's back as the former tried to block the shot.
After the play, Wembanyama walked toward Westbrook, and the two exchanged words. X user @legendz_nba, known for transcribing player interactions, recently shared a video of the incident. Wembanyama seemingly said:
“You should’ve just went for the ball because you’re not gonna hit me in the head.”
