"Wembanyama was fouled by Jrue Holiday after spinning around the Trail Blazers guard in the paint. Unable to brace himself, he fell forward and his jaw struck the floor with 8:57 remaining in the second quarter."
"Under league guidelines, a player in the concussion protocol must have at least 48 hours of inactivity and recovery and then meet several benchmarks without symptoms before being cleared to play."
"San Antonio appeared poised to withstand his absence, building a 14-point lead early in the fourth quarter before their offense stalled. Portland held the Spurs without a field goal over the final 3:37 and closed on an 11-2 run."
Victor Wembanyama of the San Antonio Spurs was placed in the NBA's concussion protocol after a fall during a playoff game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was evaluated for a concussion, with a determination expected within 24 hours. Wembanyama's absence would significantly affect the Spurs, who had the second-best league record. The Spurs initially led the game but lost 106-103 after failing to score in the final minutes. Wembanyama finished the game with five points, four rebounds, one block, and one assist in 12 minutes.
