San Antonio Spurs fans can breathe a collective sigh of relief: Victor Wembanyama will be on the court for Tuesday's pivotal Game 5 in Texas. According to an ESPN report Monday morning, the NBA has decided against issuing any additional discipline—neither a fine nor, more critically, a suspension—for the rookie sensation.

The drama unfolded during the first half of Minnesota's Game 4 victory, when Wembanyama was ejected after catching Timberwolves forward Naz Reid with an elbow to the neck. While the play sparked intense debate across social media and sports talk shows, those closest to the action saw it differently. "No one in either locker room after the game seemed to expect any further action," sources noted, suggesting the incident was viewed more as an unfortunate basketball play than a malicious act.

This news comes as a major boost for the Spurs, who have been battling the Timberwolves' physicality throughout the series. Minnesota has clearly tried to rattle the 7-foot-4 phenom, but Wembanyama's availability for Game 5 means San Antonio keeps its most dynamic weapon on the floor. With the series now shifting back to Texas, all eyes will be on how the rookie responds to the pressure—and whether he can help the Spurs even the score.
