Bol Bol apparently isn’t a big fan of his evolutionary twin. The Phoenix Suns big man Bol went viral during Saturday’s game against the San Antonio Spurs and Victor Wembanyama for a vulgar moment in the second quarter. Bol was defending a Wembanyama face-up and got called for a touch foul after very minimal contact. The TV mics caught Bol loudly saying, “Come on now, where? Where? [Y’all are] d–k-riding bro. I get it.”

“I love playing. I don’t really be tripping, but it’s always good to see us play good, solid ball from 1st quarter to the 4th.”
Kevin Durant as Suns led by as many as 32 and never trailed in 131-106 win over Spurs.

Phoenix Suns aren’t scheduled to practice Sunday as they face Spurs again Monday in San Antonio.
As for Bol Bol, was told his shoulder is fine as he grabbed at it at the end of the game. #Suns #Spurs – 11:38 PM

Pop on Vassell & Wemby building chemistry on court: “They’ve come a long way from just being together this season and Victor having so much to see and learn every night, I think they’ve made a great effort to understand what’s going on on the court in various situations…” – 10:46 PM

“He likes to play on the perimeter, but we’re forcing the issue a little bit inside on the block. Last time I checked, he’s pretty tall.”
