What at first looked like an easy matchup for the No. 2 San Antonio Spurs is now in question after a disastrous Game 2. The major headline of the evening was Victor Wembanyama's early exit due to NBA concussion protocol.
In Wembanyama's absence, the Spurs struggled to find a consistent scorer, with no one on the team scoring more than 18 points. The Portland Trail Blazers squeaked out a three-point victory as a result, with Scoot Henderson's 31 points leading the way.
The Blazers had a three-headed monster in Game 2, with Deni Avdija and Jrue Holiday scoring 14 and 16, respectively. The front court trio of Donovan Clingan, Toumani Camara and Robert Williams III combined for 30 points and 28 rebounds, giving the Blazers reliable options across the court.
It's currently unclear whether Wembanyama will return for Game 3, as there are still levels of concussion protocol that the center must clear. It will be up to the Spurs to fill in the gaps should they go through another string of games without Wembanyama on the floor.
