Victim of a head impact during Game 2 of the playoffs against the Blazers, the Frenchman suffered a concussion and will have to wait a little before playing again. A bad blow for San Antonio, which also saw Portland equalize at 1-1 in the series thanks to a 106-103 victory.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c-content__unordered\">The action of the night<\/h2>\n<p>In the second quarter, 8&#8217;57 before the break, the 22-year-old Frenchman, ball in hand, suffered a foul from Jrue Holiday causing him to lose his balance and fall heavily forward, suffering a big impact with his head facing the floor.<\/p>\n<p>Wemby remained face down on the ground for a few moments, appearing dazed, eventually turned around, then got up alone before running off to the locker room. The Spurs announced before the break that their phenomenon would not return to the match due to the \u201cconcussion protocol\u201d.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-placeholder u-placeholder-twitter\" data-vendor=\"xtwitter-3cVkYrxq\">\n<div class=\"p-xxl@xs border-color-grey-200 radius-l@xs cmp-placeholder u-hidden\">\n<p class=\"mb-m@xs text-l@xs\">By clicking on<span class=\"ml-xxs@xs font-weight-bold@xs\">\u201cI accept\u201d<\/span>you accept the deposit of cookies by external services and will thus have access to the content of our partners.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-xl@xs text-s@xs\">More information on the Cookie management policy page<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"mx-auto@xs flex@xs items-center@xs justify-center@xs gap-xxs@xs c-btn c-btn--primary cmp-button\">I accept<\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"c-content__unordered\">Wemby&#8217;s stat sheet<\/h2>\n<p>The Frenchman&#8217;s numbers are what they are to the extent that he only played 12 minutes, and not necessarily the most prolific of his career (5 points and 4 rebounds). That of Scoot Henderson, on the other hand, is remarkable: the number 3 in the 2023 draft scored 31 points and did a lot of harm to San Antonio, especially in money time.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"c-content__unordered\">The evening\u2019s statement<\/h2>\n<p>Mitch Johnson returned to the shock suffered by Wemby after the meeting. \u201cI just know that he has a concussion, that he is in the protocol and that we will obviously take the appropriate and necessary measures. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Victor Wembanyama must observe at least 48 hours of rest.
