The good news for the Spurs is that Wembanyama was able to travel with the team and that he has been listed as questionable instead of already being ruled out, though he will have to clear the NBA’s concussion protocol ahead of Game 3.
If the star center is unable to do so and is sidelined, Luke Kornet will likely draw a start in his place while Carter Bryant, Mason Plumlee and Kelly Olynyk could all be in line for increased roles off the bench.
The Spurs have ruled out Jordan McLaughlin as he will miss his third consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain.
Fans can catch Game 3 of the first-round series between the Spurs and Trail Blazers from Portland on Friday night at 10:30 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video.
