Victor Wembanyama Was Held Back From Charging Ivica Zubac After Hard Shove
Victor Wembanyama didn’t appreciate a shove from Los Angeles Clippers center Ivica Zubac as the two sprinted toward the hoop Wednesday night.
The San Antonio Spurs‘ Harrison Barnes knocked down a three-pointer as Zubac sent Wembanyama flying into his own bench as the shot went through the net. Wembanyama quickly got up to chase after Zubac but was stopped by coaches and teammates. No technical fouls were handed out following the play.

The madness quickly deescalated with both sides walking back to their respective benches. Zubac debatably should have received at least a common foul for the hip-check as he was behind Wembanyama, but no harm, no foul.
The Clippers got the best of the Spurs Wednesday night with a 128–116 win. Zubac had a 20–20 game with 21 points and 22 rebounds. Wembanyama had 23 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and three blocks. Luckily nobody was hurt in the dust up, although Wemby appeared to have wanted the smoke.
In a recent game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Toronto Raptors, young rookie Victor Wembanyama showed his fiery competitive spirit when he was held back from charging at Ivica Zubac after a hard shove.
Wembanyama, who stands at an impressive 7’2″ and has been turning heads with his skills on both ends of the court, was not backing down from the physical play of Zubac. After a particularly aggressive play under the basket, Zubac delivered a hard shove to Wembanyama, who immediately retaliated with a heated response.
Teammates and coaches quickly stepped in to prevent a potential altercation between the two players, with Wembanyama being restrained and escorted away from the situation. Despite his young age, Wembanyama’s passion and intensity on the court are clear for all to see, and he is not one to back down from a challenge.
While the incident may have been quickly diffused, it is clear that Wembanyama is not one to be taken lightly and is willing to stand up for himself and his team. As he continues to develop and grow in the NBA, fans can expect to see more of his competitive spirit and determination on display.
