Maybe not super long term, but concussions are definitely tricky. You’re way more sensitive to them for a bit after the initial one, and that’ll vary depending on how bad it was. Then add on the little things that stay for way longer then you expect them to like brain fog, a headache, definitely gonna have a stiff neck for a bit. His concussion didn’t look good, not that they ever do. But he was 100% knocked out for a few seconds there, had a moment not being able to hold himself up, then jogging back to the locker room he was stumbling some it looked like. I really hope that he recovers fast and it wasn’t bad, I hate seeing injuries

Thats kind of been his career so far. Surprisingly durable despite all the worries. First year he missed a bunch of games because of contact with a towel boy or something iirc, but the spurs were being cautious af and still played 70 games. Second season played ⁴⁶⁄₅₂ before going out with DVT which isn’t what anyone would expect. This season he missed games because of podz going beyblade more, and now a concussion. Nothings particularly shown he’s injury prone or anything, despite haters for some reason giving him that label.

All the concerns over him being huge and having some kind of leg injuries but it’s a freak blood clot issue and a concussion that have shown up. He’s missed like 25 games in 3 years to “actual” injuries

It’s a long way down.

He broke his fall with his little jaw lol

Maybe hitting his head on the rim! Not the floor.

My guy is 9 stories tall.

And potentially Harper and Barnes like what the fuck

Dude that fall was disturbing to watch. I really hope he’s OK. I had a concussion once and I didn’t remember an entire month. It’s scary.

Feel like if we lose 3 and 4 they’ll let him come back for game 5. If it’s 2-2 then they’ll keep him out til game 6

I dunno I wouldn’t mess around with Wemby. Is that worth messing him up long term?

Thanks Kevin O’Conner of yahoo sports

Please my sweet French prince

That was my first thought too.

Thankfully there’s very little to do for most facial fractures even if that were the case

They heal fine on their own non surgically

I don’t think the league would have any hope of stopping masked Wemby. 

With most injuries I’d agree but I don’t mind a concussion getting spotlight. If this is treated like Tua’s shit and they try and rush him back, it would be disgusting. He is a forever talent and this type of thing can be career changing.

Seriously. Once was more than enough, don’t need to see a player getting injured several times and in slow mo what the fuck

They had a slowmo of him going unconscious that faded into a commercial break

fucking insane lol

Media did the same with Hali and others, v gross

Yeah they KEPT showing the replay. Not a choice I would have made. After the first replay when it was clear what happened you don’t need to keep showing it.

thank you, it felt fucking grotesque at the amount they showed it, i had to turn the broadcast off for a bit

Seriously, they should’ve only showed replays if it was a cute concussion

Good flair 💚💛

I don’t see it that way. They can win without him.

Luke Kornet is +20 in 42 minutes so far this series.

Should be Game 5, that’s 7 days which is the minimum timetable

It took a Scoot 30 piece for the Blazers to win by one possession. The Spurs had the lead for basically the whole game with no Wemby, so long as they play solid ball they’ll be fine

5 days is the earliest that an NBA player has ever come back

Ask the NFL.

Some minor ones, yeah. But I don’t think Wemby’s is a minor one. He was fully unconscious, that’s rough

Tua Tagovailoa; it went horrifically

Yes, some guys have come back 2-3 days after being put in the protocol, he’ll miss game 3 more than likely but be back for game 4. Admiral Schoefield was hurt on March 5th, placed in concussion on March 7th and back by March 9th.

Probably some nfl guy with CTE.

Yeah, I’m surprised most people aren’t mentioning this. The man decided to pass the ball out instead of breaking his fall for some reason.

He couldn’t brace himself because he was focused on passing the ball out.

Yeah I actually hope this gets Wemby to slow his game down a bit. I’ve watched almost every Spurs game this year, and honestly, I’m a little surprised this is his first concussion. He is a bit out of control on offense and he’s whiplashed his head onto the floor from 7ft up more times than I can remember

He smacked his head on the court damn hard in that Denver game a few weeks ago too.

It’s today actually in a lot of countries so no

Great detail by Shams

The internet is truly undefeated at finding new ways to complain

I think he’d probably return against the Nuggets or Wolves in the second round but the Spurs have to make sure they can get past the Blazers first after they didn’t close it out tonight

According to Kevin O’Connor from Yahoo Sports:

The average NBA recovery time for a concussion is 7-10 days. 7 days would be Game 5. 10 days would be Game 7.

Depends on the severity of the concussion, but most are like a week or two.

The NBA also sets a general hard rule of 2 days out no matter what if a concussion is confirmed, so I think he probably won’t be back for game three at the least.
