Really unfortunate

NBAs protocol:

If Wembanyama is diagnosed with a concussion, he won’t be allowed to play again for 48 hours and must complete a league-mandated return-to-play protocol.

He’s so tall he just kinda whips into the floor. Crazy.

Damn that looked painful. I have zero knowledge about head injuries but I would think hitting the jaw more would mean it’s less likely to be a severe concussion right?

That's like a boxer taking a right hook to the jaw. Yeah that's still concussion.

Its not necessarily separate. Getting your bell rung kinda like Wemby is still a type of brain injury. Might be a concussion, might not.
