But it wasn&rsquo;t just the score that left a bad taste in Victor Wembanyama&rsquo;s mouth. A moment in the third quarter sparked an angry response from the young star.<\/p><p>As the Spurs were in transition, Chris Paul found Harrison Barnes for an open three-pointer. Wembanyama, expecting a miss, was preparing for the rebound when Clippers center Ivica Zubac came charging into his back. The force sent Wembanyama flying toward the baseline, crashing hard onto the floor.<\/p><p>The French phenom ran after Zubac, clearly upset but the entire Spurs bench stepped in and held Wembanyama back.<\/p><p>After the game, the 21-year-old opened up about the incident and expressed his frustration over referees &ldquo;unfair&rdquo; calls. <\/p><p><em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not even about Zubac,&rdquo;<\/em> Wembanyama said. <em>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just frustration, no matter who it was.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><p>When asked if he feels he gets a fair whistle, he didn&rsquo;t hold back.<\/p><p><em>&ldquo;No,&rdquo; <\/em>Wembanyama replied. <em>&ldquo;So it&rsquo;s a hard thing to fight, because it feels unfair sometimes.&rdquo;<\/em><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-img\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Image\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"486\" src=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/e48da6fef5344aa5871b51fe32a9580a-17.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16964\"><\/a><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&ldquo;It&rsquo;s not my job to do politics&rdquo; &ndash; Victor Wembanyama<\/h2><p>Wembanyama admitted that there are things he can improve on, like being physically stronger and not relying on the refs to bail him out on calls.
