Spurs' Wembanyama leaves game vs. Blazers and enters concussion protocol

—
San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama tumbled face-first to the court in the second quarter of Tuesday night’s playoff game against Portland and left to be examined for a possible concussion.
The Spurs said Wembanyama was in the concussion protocol and would not return.
Any extended absence by Wembanyama would be a massive blow to San Antonio, which finished with the league’s second-best record behind the versatile 7-foot-4 center from France.
Wembanyama was fouled by Jrue Holiday after he spun around the Trail Blazers point guard in the paint.
He was not able to brace himself on the fall, and his jaw hit the court.
