Overview
- Victor Wembanyama left Game 2 after hitting the floor face-first on a collision with Jrue Holiday and was diagnosed with a concussion.
- San Antonio lost 103-106 after giving up a 14-point fourth-quarter lead, which evened the first-round series with Portland at 1-1.
- The Spurs said he is in the league's concussion protocol, a step-by-step process for head injuries that sets no fixed return date.
- Wembanyama had 35 points in Game 1, then managed five points and four rebounds in 12 minutes before exiting in Game 2.
- Before the game he received the Defensive Player of the Year award, and his potential absence looms large with Game 3 in Portland later this week.
