"Concussions are notoriously tricky injuries, with notoriously unpredictable recovery processes and timetables. These are realities which have always cast a little bit of suspicion on the various sports leagues' ballyhooed brain-injury protocols."
"Wembanyama's having been cleared to play does not necessarily mean that he will -I mean, he almost certainly will, c'mon-or that he will play much."
"The Spurs lead the series 2-1 and handily dispatched the Blazers in Portland by a dozen points without him on Friday night."
Victor Wembanyama sustained a concussion in Game 3 but has been cleared to return for Game 4. Concussions have unpredictable recovery processes, raising doubts about sports leagues' brain-injury protocols. Despite being cleared, it is uncertain if Wembanyama will play significantly, as the Spurs lead the series 2-1 and won Game 3 without him. The team may not need him as urgently at this stage of the postseason.
