He has entered the concussion protocol, which is potentially concerning, meaning that the Spurs’ medical doctors are concerned he has suffered a concussion.
Best case scenario, he only misses the rest of the game and it was just a ‘scare,’ not a full concussion.
Depending on the specifics, however, if Wembanyama is confirmed to have a concussion, there is a possibility he could miss 3 to 10+ days, depending on his symptoms and how quickly he’s able to clear the concussion protocol.
If Wembanyama is diagnosed with a concussion, he will not be able to participate in team activities for at least 48 hours and won’t be abe to play until he passes certain medical tests.
Per NBA, if a player is diagnosed with a concussion, he cannot return to participating for at least 48 hours, including the date of diagnosis, and until after he completes the required return-to-participation process.
