Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama in concussion protocol after nasty face-first fall

• Wembanyama exits after hard fall in Game 2

• Spurs star enters NBA concussion protocol

• San Antonio face major playoff injury scare

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 the game to be examined for a possible concussion.

The Spurs said Wembanyama was in the concussion protocol and would not return. Any extended absence for Wembanyama would be a massive blow to San Antonio, which finished with the league’s second-best record behind the versatile 7ft 4in center from France.
