Victor Wembanyama returned from a one-game absence to help the Spurs beat the Trail Blazers 114–93 on Sunday. With the win, San Antonio now has a commanding 3–1 lead in their first round series, but despite a tremendous performance and positive result, Wembanyama was visibly frustrated following the game.
According to The Athletic, Wembanyama, who suffered a concussion during Game 2, pushed to play on Friday, but the NBA wouldn’t let him. The Spurs’ young star went so far as to request an independent neurologist examine him, and completed an interview about his symptoms and informed the neurologist he was ready to play, but was still not allowed to return for Game 3.
