Victor Wembanyama hints at frustration with NBA after Game 4 win

Speaking after the game, Wembanyama was asked about his time in concussion protocol and whether he had been frustrated by the process.

He said: “I won’t get into the details. I don’t want it to become a distraction. Ask me again at the end of the season.”

The Spurs star did praise the medical staff, adding: “The doctors were great; they took great care of me.”

However, he then added: “But the way the situation was handled was very disappointing.”

His microphone was then muted before he could elaborate further, adding another layer of intrigue to his comments.

Wembanyama did not explicitly confirm whether he felt he could have played sooner, but his remarks suggest there may be more to come on the situation later in the season.
