San Antonio Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama has cleared concussion protocol and will play in Game 4 of the Western Conference first-round series against the host Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday.
Wembanyama sustained the injury in Game 2 on Tuesday and sat out Game 3 three days later. The Spurs posted a 120-108 victory to take a 2-1 series lead heading into Sunday’s contest in Portland.
The NBA Defensive Player of the Year and finalist for the NBA MVP award averaged 25 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists and a league-best 3.1 blocks this season.
Wembanyama, 22, broke Hall of Famer Tim Duncan’s franchise record when he scored 35 points in his postseason debut in the Spurs’ 111-98 Game 1 win over the Trail Blazers.
