San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama made a triumphant return Sunday after clearing the NBA's concussion protocol but said he was "very disappointed" with some aspects of the process.

The 22-year-old from France, named the 2026 Defensive Player of the Year and in the running for Most Valuable Player, banged his head on the court in a hard fall in last Tuesday's game two of the Spurs first-round playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers.
