Victor Wembanyama injury update: Is Wembanyama playing in Game 3 vs. the Trail Blazers?

By: Brendan O'Sullivan

The San Antonio Spurs will be without Defensive Player of the Year Victor Wembanyama in Game 3 against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was questionable with a concussion leading up to the contest, and has been ruled out.

This is a significant loss for the Spurs, but it’s not overly surprising. The Spurs have been cautious with their star all season, and this isn’t an injury that can played with. Wembanyama averaged 25 points, 11.5 rebounds and 3.1 blocks this season; he had 35 points in his playoff debut.

Following the news of Wembanyama’s injury, the Spurs are now 1.5-point favorites on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Trail Blazers are +102 underdogs, with the game total set at 218.5.
