Spurs Fan Assaulted and Objects Thrown at Wembanyama After Knicks–Spurs NBA Finals Games

A 39-year-old Spurs fan was surrounded, punched and kicked after Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. Police said the victim’s jersey was stolen and he suffered facial cuts and bruising. Video footage showed objects being thrown at Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs outside their team hotel after Game 4.

The incidents occurred during the last two games of the series. ESPN host Mike Greenberg addressed the conduct on the June 11, 2026, edition of Get Up. “For those, I don’t want to call them fans, I don’t even know what you want to say,” Greenberg said.

Greenberg added that the individuals were “disgracing yourself and everyone who knows you. ” He specified that his remarks targeted those involved in the violence and object-throwing, not the broader Knicks fanbase. Knicks fans had been noted for loud support at Madison Square Garden and for traveling with the team during its deep playoff run.

Com reported that the recent episodes shifted attention after the assaults and object-throwing. The Game 3 assault and Game 4 incidents followed the Knicks’ advancement in the series. No arrests or further police actions were detailed in the available material.
