Wembanyama is in the middle of his third NBA season with the Spurs.

He finished this past regular season with averages of 25.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 3.1 blocks per contest while shooting 51.2% from the field and 34.9% from three-point range in 64 games.

Spurs Right Now

The Spurs are currently in the NBA playoffs for the first since the 2019 season when they had DeMar DeRozan.

They had an excellent regular season going 62-20, which has them as the second seed in the Western Conference.

Wembanyama has helped the franchise go from rebuilding mode to contender status.

That said, his injury caused concern with the series going back to Portland for Games 3 and 4.

ESPN’s Shams Charania wrote (on April 21): “Per NBA guidelines, Wembanyama cannot return to full participation for 48 hours but can resume gradual activity in 24 hours as long as his symptoms don’t worsen. Then he must hit several benchmarks while being symptom-free before he is cleared to play. He’ll then require clearance from team doctor in consultation with league protocol director.”

Trail Blazers Right Now

The Trail Blazers are back in the NBA playoffs for the first time since the 2021 season.

They are the seventh seed after going 42-40.

In Game 2, Scoot Henderson led the way with 31 points.

Game 4 will be on Sunday before the teams head back to San Antonio on Tuesday for Game 5.
