Victor Wembanyama received the villain treatment Wednesday night. 

The Spurs’ 7-foot-4 unicorn was lustily booed in pre-game introductions ahead of Game 4 at Madison Square Garden. 

Wembanyama was awesome in Game 3, exploding for 32 points, eight rebounds, six assists and three blocks.

But the booing was more a byproduct of him throwing Jalen Brunson to the court in the first quarter of Game 3.

The NBA opted against retroactively ruling it a flagrant foul. 

“Hey, the league’s going to do what they’re going to do,” Knicks coach Mike Brown said. “They ain’t going to listen to me. They ain’t going to listen to nobody else.”

Wembanyama already has two penalty points for being issued a Flagrant 2 foul in the Western Conference semifinals against the Timberwolves.

A Flagrant 1 foul is one penalty point.

If a player gets up to four penalty points in the postseason, an automatic one-game suspension is given.
