Shout out to Bomani for backing Big Vic
Bomani is right agreeing with Wemby about concussion protocol. Not all knockouts lead to concussions and not all concussions begin with a knockout. If Wemby was cleared by doctors and felt fine, but the NBA chose to keep him out a game Wemby has every right to be upset. If the time out needs to be longer then the NBA needs to change the protocol from 3 days (48hrs plus another day to clear all tests which Wemby apparently did) to 5 days (96hrs plus another day for testing)
The reason Wemby is upset is justified and sounds more like the league wanted to prolong the series rather than protect the player (who met all criteria to play game 3). Adam Silver dropped the ball and it looks like the league was trying to schedule a loss so the series goes at least 6 games.
