- VJ Edgecombe posted 30 points, 10 rebounds and 6 three‑pointers, becoming the youngest player ever to record a 30‑point, 10‑rebound playoff game, surpassing Magic Johnson.
- Tyrese Maxey helped Philadelphia post a 111‑97 win, part of a 59‑point combined effort with Edgecombe that tied the series 1‑1.
- Victor Wembanyama exited Game 2 with a concussion, leaving the Spurs shorthanded and giving Portland a chance to swing the series after their upset win.
Why it matters: The 76ers tie the series 1‑1 after Edgecombe’s 30‑point night, buying Embiid extra recovery time, while the Spurs lose Victor Wembanyama to a concussion, slashing San Antonio’s playoff odds and likely reducing future TV‑rating revenue.
