Flagrant Foul Penalty 1: Unnecessary contact committed by a player against an opponent.

:'(
Wikipedia:
In basketball, a flagrant foul is a personal foul that involves excessive or violent contact that could injure the fouled player. A flagrant foul may be unintentional or purposeful; the latter type is also called an "intentional foul" in the NBA.

Says nothing about unnecessary contact.

"In basketball" is different from "In the NBA"

Wikipedia is not the best source for this info when you can go to NBA.com for the real answer.
 
Attempting to block shots should just be banned all together for the betterment of protecting heads.
If what happened to Rudy happened frequently, then yes. Since it doesn't you are creating a straw man

Sato does so many good things off the ball that won't show on the stats sheet. Setting good screens to help his teammates get open looks. Good rebounder and cutter. Not to mention his consistently good numbers from deep. Just the ideal team player who's been underappreciated on bad teams.
 
There are probably a lot less head injuries thanks to stiffer weaker calls. For the record, it’s not like Gobert received a love tap. He was hit pretty hard.

Yeah, because the NBA had a big CTE issue before they saved everyone with an alteration to the rule.
