Overview
- San Antonio listed Victor Wembanyama as uncertain for Game 3, which is scheduled for Friday in Portland.
- Wembanyama sustained a diagnosed concussion after a head‑first fall following contact with Jrue Holiday in Tuesday’s Game 2 and did not return as the Spurs lost 106-103.
- The NBA concussion protocol requires at least 48 hours of rest, then a gradual return to activity with neurological checks and final approval before a player can compete.
- He visited the Spurs’ facility within a day of the injury and was present at practice as a non‑participant under the protocol.
- Typical NBA concussion absences last around a week, which could cost the Defensive Player of the Year and MVP candidate multiple games in a 1-1 series.
