SAN ANTONIO SPURS PLAYING WITHOUT WEMBANYAMA
The San Antonio Spurs playing Portland Trailblazers without Victor Wembanyama
During the playoff game on Tuesday 04/21/26; the star player Victor Wembanyama got injured early in the second quarter of the game. Wemby was dribbling the basketball into the paint when he was fouled by Jrue Holiday from the opposing team. The foul was a common foul and while Wemby was turning and twisting inside he fell and hit his face onto the court.
Wemby seemed dazed as he tried to get up on the floor he just sat there for a moment and his training staff rushed to his side and in collecting himself Wemby just sprinted to the locker room, and he did not return to the remainder of game. It is understood that Wemby is in concussion protocol. The San Antonio staff understands that he will remain in protocol for 48 hours and tested. While San Antonio will not be playing Portland Trailblazers until Friday; they don't want to rush his progress. Wemby will be monitored and he will be on utilized on a case-by-case basis.
As for Portland they were able to manage a win and tie the series 1-1 with a score of 106 to 103. This game was not an easy win for Portland; the Spurs led the game for the majority. That speaks volumes considering San Antonio was missing their star player. If Wemby is unable to play; Portland needs to seize the opportunity. I think that the Spurs with or without Wemby will be too much competition for Portland, just my opinion. I may be wrong but stay tuned till Friday....
