Trail Blazers vs. Spurs Game 3: Surprising Underdog Edge and Shocking Stats That Could Flip the Playoffs

LEARN MORE

With the availability of Victor Wembanyama (concussion) very much in question, the San Antonio Spurs are in Portland for a pivotal Game 3 tonight as their first round series continues against Deni Avdija and the Portland Trail Blazers tied at one game apiece.

A finalist for NBA MVP this season and the league’s top defensive player, Wembanyama did light cardio work with the team before traveling with the Spurs to Portland yesterday. Symptoms are said to have not gotten worse, but no official word on if they lessened or disappeared as the day progressed. Needless to say, the Spurs will not push their franchise cornerstone, but his presence is obviously a difference maker for this young team. The most recent proof of that is found in Game 2. Wembanyama suffered a hard fall in the second quarter and did not return, a departure that allowed Portland to mount a 14-point comeback to steal a road win and even the series. If Wemby is unable to go, the Spurs will lean heavily on De’Aaron Fox and last year’s Rookie of the Year Stephon Castle to carry the offensive load.
