The inquiry itself is a valid one at this point in the playoffs. San Antonio is coming off a hard fought Game 3 on Friday, in which the Spurs’ young guns propelled them in the second half to victory. Stephon Castle had 33 points to lead the team while first-year guard Dylan Harper came off the bench with career-highs in points (27) and rebounds (10).
Game 3 proved to be a monumental test for San Antonio as they now look to take a commanding 3-1 lead into the series after Sunday afternoon’s contest, and Wembanyama will be important to that cause. Here’s what the organization had to say on his recent diagnosis and his possible status for Game 4.
The Frenchman is “doing well and progressing,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before Game 3. Wembanyama had traveled with the team to Portland on Thursday, while continuing to complete the steps mandated by the league’s concussion protocol.
Game 4 between the San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers is set for 2:30 p.m. today on ESPN. This story is ongoing and will be updated before today’s contest.
