Victor Wembanyama injury update: Latest after hard fall in Spurs-Blazers
Is Victor Wembanyama OK after hitting is head hard in Spurs vs. Blazers Game 2? The latest injury update on the star center.
Victor Wembanyama was in the middle of a decent start for the San Antonio Spurs in fame 2 of their playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers -- five points, four boards and a block in 12 minutes. But then? Early in the second quarter, he hit the floor hard and appeared to bang his head.
He was motionless for a moment with his eyes closed before he got up and headed straight to the locker room. What's the latest there? Did he suffer a head injury of some kind in the process?
The answer is: He's now in the NBA's concussion protocol and will miss the remainder of the game on Tuesday night. Awful news for the superstar and for the Spurs. Victor Wembanyama goes down HARD.
Face-first into the floor. Gets up looking dazed and heads straight to the locker room. Timeout San Antonio Spurs.
