The concussion was a result of Wemby banging his chin on the court after losing his balance when Jrue Holiday pulled the chair early in the second quarter of Game 2. He missed the rest of the game, which the Spurs lost, as well as Game 3 in Portland, which the Spurs won thanks to historical performances from Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle, as well as an admirable job filling in from the always-reliable Luke Kornet.
Wemby, who said he felt ready before game 3 but did not clear the NBA’s protocols, did pass today’s tests and was cleared an hour before tip-off, which will be at a little after 2:30 PM CT on ESPN. The Spurs lead the series 2-1.
