Victor Wembanyama’s injury status had him as a game-time decision ahead of tonight’s Game 3 between the Spurs and Trail Blazers at Moda Center, with tip-off set for 10:30 p.m. ET.

That decision has been made, with the San Antonio MVP candidate officially ruled out, due to a concussion suffered after a fall during Game 2.

Find out what that means for making Spurs vs. Trail Blazers predictions for Friday, April 24.

Will Victor Wembanyama play tonight?

Victor Wembanyama was officially listed as "questionable" due to a concussion, and while there were encouraging signs he would suit up, he will, in fact, not play.

Wembanyama traveled with the San Antonio Spurs to Oregon, and Spurs coach Mitch Johnson described Wemby as "progressing" through the NBA concussion protocol.

The only reason Wemby was even possibly available tonight was that the Spurs and Portland Trail Blazers had two days off between Games 2 and 3, as concussion protocol calls for a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours once diagnosed.

Latest Spurs vs Trail Blazers odds

With Wembanyama ruled out, here are the latest game odds for tonight's San Antonio/Portland Game 3.

Potential Victor Wembanyama player props for his next game

Sportsbooks had posted player props for Victor Wembanyama in the event he played in Game 3 — but this could give us an indication of where his lines could sit ahead of Sunday's Game 4.

Market bet365
Over 24.5 points +105
Over 2.5 assists -145
Over 10.5 rebounds -125
Over 1.5 threes -165
Over 2.5 blocks -150

Wembanyama's lines were shaded a bit lower than in Games 1 and 2, due to the uncertainty regarding how much Wembanyama would play (if at all).

If you're worried about your bets losing before tonight's game even begins... don't. Per bet365's house rules, "Relevant players (all quoted players in a multi-player market) must be dressed and see court time for bets to have action (unless specified otherwise)."

A bet placed on a Wembanyama prop before he was ruled out would be refunded.
