Victor Wembanyama Suffers Injury During Game 2 of Spurs-Blazers
San Antonio Spurs fans are concerned for Victor Wembanyama after he left early in the second quarter of Game 2 on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. While at home, the Spurs want to build on their 1-0 series advantage.
Wembanyama has been the main focus for the Spurs, carrying them in Game 1 on Sunday. He led the team with 35 points and five rebounds on 83.3% shooting from downtown. His impressive playoff debut gave the team the needed energy to set the tone of the series.
Unfortunately for the Spurs, Wembanyama headed back to the locker room in Game 2.

Wembanyama had the ball in the post, and Blazers guard Jrue Holiday was defending him. As the Spurs star tried to make a spin move to evade the defense, Holiday pulled the chair on the young star. The 2026 Defensive Player of the Year lost his balance and fell on the floor.
His head bounced on the floor, and he did not get up for a while. When he was able to recover, however, he struggled to get on his feet. The team had to take him out of the game to check on his condition.
