San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has entered the NBA’s concussion protocol after exiting Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers with a head injury.

With 8:57 remaining in the second quarter, Wembanyama took a hard fall to the floor after being fouled by Jrue Holiday during a drive and spin move in the paint. His face hit the court at high velocity, leaving him dazed and confused on the floor before he was helped to his feet and escorted to the locker room.

The Spurs confirmed that Wembanyama would miss the remainder of Game 2 and be evaluated under the league’s concussion protocol. A team official stated that a determination on his status could be made within the next 24 hours.
