Here’s the latest on Victor Wembanyama and concussion news.
- Wembanyama entered concussion protocol in Game 2 versus the Trail Blazers after a hard fall and will not return that night. He will need to clear the concussion protocol before he can return.[1][6]
- Reports indicate he must complete the league’s concussion return-to-participation steps and be symptom-free under medical supervision to be cleared for a potential return to play.[2]
- The timeline for his return depends on symptom resolution and progression through the protocol; Game 3 was scheduled in Portland if he gets cleared in time.[2]
What this means for Spurs fans
- The Spurs sidelined Wembanyama for at least the remainder of Game 2, with a plan to reassess ahead of subsequent games as per protocol guidelines.[2]
- If he clears the protocol, he would need to resume light activities and gradually ramp up, per league rules, before any return to competition.[2]
