Victor Wembanyama enters concussion protocol

Head coach Mitch Johnson confirmed the injury, which leaves Wembanyama's status for the crucial Game 3 in significant doubt.

The Spurs went 12-6 during the regular season in games their star center missed, but the loss of his defensive presence is a major blow in the postseason.

Portland took advantage of his absence to rally for a 106-103 victory, evening the series at one game apiece.

The team will monitor his recovery closely as they prepare to head back to San Antonio.
