Wemby torches Blazers after mysterious concussion protocol delay

Why this story

NBA's future superstar publicly criticizes concussion protocol while delivering dominant 27-point performance in return.

FAN TAKE

NBA stonewalled Wemby without explaining why he failed protocol, then he exploded for 27 points, 12 rebounds, 7 blocks when cleared.

CRITIC TAKE

Wemby's 'very unhappy' complaints about concussion protocol undermine CTE protections built from decades of research and legal settlements.

ANALYTICS VIEW

The impact shows: Wemby's 27-point, 7-block return in Game 4 gave San Antonio commanding 3-1 series lead over Portland per ESPN.

Hidden Truth

Hidden truth: NBA won't disclose which concussion test Wemby failed Game 3 or passed Game 4, or if the same neurologist evaluated him both times.

Should the NBA be required to publicly disclose which specific concussion test a player failed?
