Victor Wembanyama's San Antonio Spurs hosted Kevin Durant-led Phoenix Suns on Saturday night in their third match of the 2023-24 NBA regular season and their first clash at the AT&T Center. While the Spurs defeated the Suns in both their previous clashes at the Footprint Center this season, Phoenix dominated San Antonio 131-106. A hilarious incident surfaced during the match where Suns big man Bol Bol hurled an X-rated jibe at the official, which was heard live.
Phoenix Suns stars Devin Booker (32) and Kevin Durant (25) combined for 57 points to help their side register their first win against the bottom-placed San Antonio Spurs this season. For the Spurs, Keldon Johnson led the scoring with 14 points followed by Victor Wembanyama's 13 points.
During the second quarter of Saturday's game, the referee called a foul on Bol Bol, who was guarding Victor Wembanyama. The 24-year-old Suns center was visibly disappointed with the call and was heard making an X-rated jibe towards the official. After the foul call, Bol Bol said, "Y'all d**kriding bro, I get it."

During the game, Bol Bol registered 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 block in 19 minutes while shooting 4/5 from the field and 2/2 from the 3-pointer. On the other hand, Wembanyama also scored 13 points, 1 block, and made 5 rebounds with 5/7 FG, and 1/2 3PT in 21 minutes.
Both Bol Bol and Wembanyama are above 7-foot-3, however, the French center has made a significant impact in his rookie season while the Sudanese-American center is currently in his fifth NBA season.
