Wyatt Wilkes, a professional basketball player, is in the spotlight after Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim punched Seminoles guard in the stomach during the first half of their game against Florida State.
Syracuse went to the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament in 2022; Buddy Boeheim, the team’s star, may not be able to play in their next game.
Even though Wyatt Wilkes was plainly in pain after the punch, officials did not foul the play. They didn’t even do a review of the space.

Wyatt Wilkes is a professional basketball player. He was a member of three NCAA Tournament teams (2018, 2019, and 2021), as well as the Seminoles’ ACC Championship squad in 2020.
Boeheim hit Seminoles guard Wyatt Wilkes in the stomach during the first half of Wednesday’s game between Syracuse and Florida State.
After Joe Girard III hit a 3-pointer, Boeheim, the son of Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim, was pushing for rebounding position. Boeheim switched his focus to Wilkes after the ball had gone over the net, taking a shot at his abdomen.
Even though Wilkes was plainly in pain after the punch, officials did not foul the play. They didn’t even do a review of the space.
Jim Boeheim remarked after the game that the punch was “inadvertent.”
It’s unclear whether Buddy Boeheim will face disciplinary discipline due to his activities. It would be a significant blow to Syracuse’s prospects of pulling off an upset if he cannot play in the quarterfinals against Duke.
