The seven-foot six-inch, massive center for the Antonio Spurs is faced with an injury that may ruin the spurs chance at an NBA final win for the first time since 2014. He was driving to the basket when he made contact with another player, causing him to fall and hit his head.
He is progressing through the NBA concussion protocol by starting light cardiovascular activity. It ensures he gets the right amount of treatment to his injury while making sure he does not return to the league too soon. Because he was suspected of having a concussion, he was immediately removed from the game to avoid any further injury.
Many are worried about him not coming back for game three against the Portland Trailblazers. He is the backbone of the team, and they are relying on him to come back so they can have a better chance of winning the final series.
