- Victor Wembanyama left after 12 minutes with a concussion, posting 5 points and 4 rebounds, and entered the NBA concussion protocol, ruling him out for the rest of Game 2.
- San Antonio Spurs lost 106‑103 to the Portland Trail Blazers, tying the series at 1‑1, and substituted Luke Kornet for the injured star.
- NBA concussion guidelines mandate a 48‑hour wait before full participation, forcing Wembanyama to miss Game 3 on Friday.
Why it matters: The Spurs lose Wembanyama’s 5‑point output and rim protection, dropping their defensive rating and jeopardizing Game 3; the 48‑hour concussion rule forces his absence, affecting the team’s playoff odds.
