Can you box out after someone dribbles between your legs? (alien.top)

I just saw a video of Wembanyama dribbling between Bullock Jr.’s legs, and I’m kind of curious as to why a defensive player doesn’t just box out in this situation? It seems like less of a struggle to just turn your body and box out the offensive player, claiming the ball is now loose, and I was wondering if there is some NBA rule prohibiting this.

Honestly, just kick the ball with your heel in that situation. Just resets play. Jokic does it intentionally all the time to get himself off islands.
