Victor Wembanyama unfazed by egg-throwing incident following Game 4 letdown

SAN ANTONIO — Victor Wembanyama claims to be unaffected. 

After the Knicks’ miraculous 107-106 Game 4 win over the Spurs Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden, video went viral on social media of a fan successfully throwing an egg at Wembanyama’s head as he walked into the team hotel. 

After being hit, Wembanyama stopped for a second and looked back before continuing to walk inside.

“I didn’t really think much of it,” Wembanyama said on Friday. “I just saw that one video of the eggs. I didn’t see any other one. It’s OK. I don’t dislike it. Obviously it’s not good at all. But it doesn’t bother me.” 

Fans — or instigators — surrounded the Ritz-Carlton hotel, where the Spurs were staying, and heckled them as they returned from one of the most memorable games in NBA Finals history. 

Other video showed things being thrown at the Spurs’ team bus as they left MSG.

“We did hear some things, yeah,” Wembanyama said. “I have no idea. I think it was a bottle because it was, like, water on the bus. I didn’t see anything.” 

Wembanyama has emerged as a Knicks villain during these Finals, particularly for a few dirty plays throughout the series. 

In Game 3, he got away with shoving Jalen Brunson down to the ground by his head area — it was not called a foul in the moment and the NBA opted against retroactively ruling it a flagrant. 

Then in Game 4, though, Wembanyama was given a flagrant for elbowing Karl-Anthony Towns in the face. The Knicks trailed by 29 in the third quarter at the time — their largest deficit of the night — and the moment sort of sparked their historic comeback. 

Throughout Games 3 and 4 at MSG, “F–k you Wemby” chants constantly rang around the arena. 

And, with the Knicks up 3-1 in the series, their fans are expected to show out in full force on Saturday for Game 5 at the Frost Bank Arena.
