The Spurs are relieved, but the NBA is facing serious heat.
Despite Victor Wembanyama’s dangerous elbow to Naz Reid, a strike mirroring the hit that earned Metta World Peace a 7-game ban in 2012, the league has cleared the DPOY for Game 5.
In 2012, player safety was the priority.
Today, with the series tied 2-2, many feel the league chose ratings and star power over its own precedent.
Wemby stays on the floor, but the decision leaves a massive question mark on the NBA’s consistency.
