The San Antonio Spurs lost 106-103 in Game 2 against the Portland Trail Blazers after Victor Wembanyama fell face-first to the floor during the second quarter.
The Spurs said he was out as part of a concussion protocol.
Wembanyama was seen falling face-first to the floor during the second quarter of the game, which took place at the Frost Bank Center. He hit his chin and the right side of his face and laid motionless for a couple of seconds.
After about 15 to 20 seconds, Wembanyama attempted to get up. He was then seen running off the court to be examined for a possible concussion.
Per NBA concussion protocol rules, he cannot play in any game for 48 hours after the diagnosis. If Wembanyama gets cleared he could appear in Game 3 on Friday, April 24 in Portland.
The Spurs are in the NBA playoffs for the first time since 2019 and are chasing their sixth championship. They beat Portland at the Frost Bank Center on Sunday night 111-98.
On Monday, Wembanyama was named the NBA’s 2025-26 Defensive Player of the Year, becoming the first player to win the award unanimously.
