nypost.comKnicks fans threw objects at Spurs center Victor Wembanyama as he walked from the team bus toward the entrance of the Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad after Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 11, 2026. An object struck a street sign near him, and security guards grabbed the 7-foot-5 player, who was wearing street clothes and carrying a large Louis Vuitton duffel bag, and rushed him inside.
Wembanyama scored 24 points and one assist in 44 minutes during the Spurs’ 107-106 loss.
He scored only eight points in the second half and missed two free throws with the Spurs leading 104-103 and 1:47 remaining in the fourth quarter. Knicks center Mitchell Robinson was called for a flagrant foul after elbowing Wembanyama to the floor. ” Two quarters later, Wembanyama received a Flagrant 1 after his elbow struck the face of Knicks forward Karl-Anthony Towns.
Thousands of Knicks fans had gathered behind metal barriers along W28th Street before the Spurs returned to the hotel. Hours earlier, fans had given the Spurs a “boo-filled” send-off as the team boarded the bus for Madison Square Garden. Wembanyama had drawn fan anger after he shoved Knicks captain Jalen Brunson during the first quarter of Game 3 on Monday without receiving a flagrant foul.
Had he been assessed the foul, he would have accumulated four flagrant points and faced suspension for Game 5 on Saturday in San Antonio. Video of the object being thrown was posted on X by the account @KingCharge. The NYPD said police had not been called and no arrests had been made near the hotel as of early Thursday morning.
