Game 3 of the Spurs-Trail Blazers series will take place on Friday night. In the lead-up to the pivotal contest, all eyes are on Victor Wembanyama.
The San Antonio superstar was forced to exit Game 2 after taking a nasty spill on the court that resulted in a concussion. He slammed his face against the hardwood after falling over while trying to back down Jrue Holiday in the post and laid on the floor for a frightening couple of minutes before going to the locker room. He was quickly declared out and the Spurs went on to lose, 106–103. Postgame, coach Mitch Johnson confirmed Wembanyama had suffered a concussion and would enter the league’s concussion protocol that dictates the boxes he must check before returning to play.
