San Antonio Spurs star center Victor Wembanyama has officially cleared the NBA’s concussion protocol and is set to return to action, according to Shams Charania. The standout big man passed his final neurological tests on Sunday after sustaining a concussion during Tuesday night's game.
The recovery process for Wembanyama followed the league's strict multi-step protocol. After the injury occurred on Tuesday, he began monitored cardio work within 24 hours. He successfully increased his level of physical activity through Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Following the completion of these stages, Wembanyama received the necessary medical sign-off from the San Antonio Spurs medical staff and official clearance from the NBA on Sunday.
With the clearance finalized, Wembanyama is expected to rejoin the Spurs lineup immediately. The franchise cornerstone had been sidelined since the incident on Tuesday, but his successful progression through the protocol ensures he is ready for full-contact basketball activities once again.
