McLaughlin has not appeared in a game this series, but his absence has not affected the Spurs’ rotation. If available, Sunday’s game will likely have to get out of hand for the veteran guard to play meaningful minutes.

Injured during Game 2, Wembanyama remained in the league’s concussion protocol for Friday’s Game 3 victory in Portland. The good news is that he was on the bench with his teammates, and there’s now a chance that the MVP finalist returns on Sunday. If Wembanyama plays, Luke Kornet will head to the bench.

Holiday scored 25 points combined in the first two games of this series and then exploded for 29 points in Game 3. Despite the admirable effort from the 35-year-old point guard, it wasn’t enough as Portland dropped Game 3 at home by 12 points. Holiday and the Trail Blazers will try to even the series in Game 4 on Sunday.

Still only 20, Harper became the youngest player in NBA history to score at least 25 points off the bench in a playoff game. He had 27 points and 10 rebounds as the Spurs took a 2-1 lead in the series. Harper and Stephon Castle combined for 60 points with Victor Wembanyama (concussion protocol) sidelined. The Spurs will take on the Trail Blazers in a pivotal Game 4 on Sunday.

Even without Victor Wembanyama (concussion protocol), the Spurs were able to win largely because of Castle. The 21-year-old point guard had 33 points and five assists as San Antonio took a 2-1 series advantage. Castle and the Spurs will be looking to take control of the series with a win in Game 4 on Sunday.

Wembanyama participated in shootaround on Friday and was listed as questionable, but ultimately ruled out for Game 3 against the Trail Blazers. It’s unclear how close he actually was to playing and if he might be available for Game 4 on Sunday. Luke Kornet has typically started when Wembanyama has missed time this season.

Wemby is in the concussion protocol, but his participation in Friday’s shootaround bodes well for his health. More information on his status should be available closer to tip-off. If Wembanyama is ultimately ruled out, Luke Kornet would presumably slot in as San Antonio’s starting center.

Wembanyama’s upgrade to questionable is an encouraging sign for the Defensive Player of the Year, who fell hard on his face in the Spurs’ Game 2 loss to the Blazers. If unable to play on Friday, Luke Kornet will likely be the starting center.

Two days after his teammate, Victor Wembanyama, won Defensive Player of the Year, Johnson now brings home the Sixth Man award. The honor highlights the seventh-year forward’s contributions and impact off the bench, averaging 13.2 points and 5.4 rebounds in all 82 regular-season games. He joins Manu Ginobili as the only Spurs players to win the award.

Wembanyama took a hard fall and landed on his face early in Game 2’s loss to the Trail Blazer. The 22-year-old center entered the concussion protocol and was diagnosed with a concussion. He must now have at least 48 hours of inactivity before clearing several benchmarks while being symptom-free before he is cleared to play again. Wembanyama could still miss multiple games before returning. Luke Kornet should fill in while Wembanyama is sidelined.

Victor Wembanyama carried the Spurs offense in Game 1’s victory with 35 points, but left Game 2 early with a concussion. In his absence, none of the other Spurs starters stepped up the scoring. Castle, De’Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell combined to shoot 19-of-52 from the field in Game 2 and no Spurs player eclipsed 20 points. With Wembanyama potentially set to miss more time in this series, someone else on the Spurs will need to score more points.

Williams played 23 minutes off the bench in the victory and had 11 points and nine rebounds. The 28-year-old center also had a put-back dunk and got fouled with 15 seconds left in regulation to put the Trail Blazers up by three. He’ll continue to have a significant bench role in this series.

Henderson found his rhythm with a 15-point second half in Sunday’s Game 1 loss to the Spurs and it carried over to Game 2 as he posted 31 points in the win. The 22-year-old guard’s three-point shooting was a major factor in this one as he was 5-of-9 from behind the arc. The series shifts to Portland for Game 3 on Friday.

Wembanyama took a hard fall and landed on his face while diving for a loose ball in the first half of Game 2 against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday. The 22-year-old center headed to the locker room and entered the concussion protocol, according to a report from Charania. Wembanyama won’t return to Game 2 and if it’s determined that he suffered a concussion, he could miss more time in this series. Luke Kornet should see more minutes if that’s the case.

Not only did Wembanyama win his first Defensive Player of the Year award, but he did so in dominant fashion. The Spurs’ center became the franchise’s first winner since Kawhi Leonard in 2016, and he received every first-place vote. Wembanyama is the first to win the award unanimously since its creation in 1982-83, and he’s also the youngest winner. This is likely to be the first of many Defensive Player of the Year awards for Wembanyama, who is also a finalist for league MVP. Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren and Detroit’s Ausar Thompson rounded out the top three.

Holiday was cold from the field in Game 1, regardless of whether he was shooting inside the arc or beyond it. The two-time champion was one of three Blazers starters to shoot under 30.0 percent on the evening, contributing to Portland’s overall offensive struggles. He did compensate for the scoring struggles by dishing out double-digit assists, doing so while committing only one turnover. Still, the Trail Blazers will likely need more production from Holiday as a scorer going forward.

After a quiet, three-point first half, Henderson found his rhythm in his playoff debut and scored 15 points after halftime to finish as Portland’s second-leading scorer on the evening. Henderson shot efficiently in his 27 minutes both inside and outside the arc, and was one of the Blazers’ more reliable starters overall. The former third-overall pick has logged some impressive scoring performances recently in his return from injury. He’ll have a chance to build off some Game 1 momentum and carry it over on Tuesday when the Blazers and Spurs take the floor again.

Avdija got off to a fast start in Sunday’s outing. He logged 11 first-quarter points and tallied eight more to total 19 points at halftime. Yet, he was much less dominant the remainder of the game, taking just two shots in the third frame before logging six points in the fourth. Still, Avdija was the only Trail Blazer with more than 20 points on the evening. He’ll likely need some of his teammates to contribute more on the offensive end if Portland wants to avoid dropping Game 2.

Fox’s playoff debut with the Spurs was an impressive one. The veteran guard led the team in assists during his time on the floor, and shot the basketball well enough to finish as one of the top scorers. Perhaps most impressively, Fox’s offensive contributions came without giving the ball away to the defense. He was under control throughout, and it helped San Antonio cruise to a comfortable Game 1 win.

Castle was one of many Spurs starters to conclude with a strong stat line on Sunday. In 33 minutes, the second-year guard made his mark as one of San Antonio’s best facilitators and rebounders, while constantly putting pressure on the defense to make his way to the charity stripe. Better efficiency on his shot attempts would have boosted Castle well into the twenties in regard to total points. Nonetheless, he finished as one of the team’s top scorers on the evening and, as mentioned previously, contributed in several other areas of the game.

Wembanyama’s first taste of the NBA postseason was a success. The superstar center was particularly productive from the three-point line in this game, where his five triples accounted for one-third of San Antonio’s total from beyond the arc. He also took advantage of his attempts from the free-throw line and converted several shots inside the arc to help land a game-high in points. Yet, his usual counting stats across the board weren’t as great as they often are; Wemby finished below his regular-season averages in rebounds, assists, and blocked shots during his time on the floor. While his impact on both ends was clear, he’ll have a chance to log a greater overall stat line in Game 2.
