San Antonio is up in the best-of-seven series, two games to one.
SAN ANTONIO — The Spurs depth did its job Friday, delivering a Game 3 win in Victor Wembanyama’s absence as he recovered from a concussion.
Now, with San Antonio holding a 2-1 first-round series lead over Portland in the playoffs, Wembanyama is set to suit back up as the team looks to gather more momentum before returning to Texas.
Wembanyama was officially cleared to play less than an hour before tipoff, having cleared the NBA concussion protocol. Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle stepped up in a Wemby-less Game 3, combining for 60 points in the road win.

1Q, 7:04 remaining: Spurs 12, Trail Blazers 7
So far, so good for San Antonio, which is up on Portland thanks to two early treys from Stephon Castle.
Wembanyama already has a pair of blocks in the first four-plus minutes of action.
This is a developing story.
