Leicester's fall from grace: From Premier League champions to relegation to League One
Leicester City faces relegation to League One after a tumultuous season.
Victor Wembanyama fell hard during the Spurs-Blazers game, hitting his head. He is now in the NBA's concussion protocol and will miss the rest of the game.
Victor Wembanyama was in the middle of a decent start for the San Antonio Spurs in fame 2 of their playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers -- five points, four boards and a block in 12 minutes.
But then? Early in the second quarter, he hit the floor hard and appeared to bang his head. He was motionless for a moment with his eyes closed before he got up and headed straight to the locker room.
What's the latest there? Did he suffer a head injury of some kind in the process?
The answer is: He's now in the NBA's concussion protocol and will miss the remainder of the game on Tuesday night. Awful news for the superstar and for the Spurs.
Here's hoping he's OK.
