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.

I think it’s 48 hours so he’s definitely missing G3, but I doubt he’ll play G4. Spurs health staff would probably also prefer he stays in San Antonio to rest instead of traveling. Spurs will just have to do their best on the road.

Yeah I’m hoping it’s not serious but the way he fell has me thinking he won’t be back right at 48 hours.

Hope the Spurs can hang on without him so he can still get a good run these playoffs.

It legit looked like he was actually unconscious for a second. We’ll see if Fox is worth the money they spent on him. He kinda disappeared at the end of the game tonight.

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?

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

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

[–] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 weeks ago

Well fuck. I was wondering why Trailblazers were so competitive.

@TrippyFocus Horrible fall. I hope it's nothing serious.
