Victor Wembanyama Placed in NBA Concussion Protocol After Fall in Playoff Loss

Victor Wembanyama was placed in the NBA concussion protocol after tumbling face-first during the Spurs' 106-103 playoff loss to Portland on Tuesday. The 7ft 4in center, who won this year's NBA Defensive Player of the Year, was fouled by Jrue Holiday and couldn't brace himself as his jaw hit the court in the second quarter. Game 3 is Friday in Portland, making it improbable he'll be cleared. The Spurs went 12-6 during the regular season without Wembanyama.

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama suffered a possible concussion during Tuesday night's playoff game against Portland after falling face-first when fouled by Jrue Holiday. The 7-foot-4 center from France could not brace himself and his jaw hit the court with 8:57 remaining in the second quarter. He remained on the court for about 30 seconds before rising to a seated position and speaking to teammate Stephon Castle. The Spurs announced Wembanyama was in the concussion protocol and would not return. San Antonio, in the playoffs for the first time since 2019, beat Portland in Game 1 of the Western Conference first-round series and finished with the league's second-best record.
