Wembanyama Remains in Concussion Protocol — No RTP Estimate Applicable

Victor Wembanyama is listed day-to-day with a head concussion, currently managed under the NBA's concussion protocol. Despite the "day-to-day" designation, this label carries no reliable clinical predictive value for concussion — return-to-play is governed entirely by symptom resolution and stepwise protocol clearance, not a fixed timeline.

The NBA's concussion protocol requires a graduated return-to-play progression: symptom-free rest → light aerobic activity → sport-specific exercise → non-contact drills → full-contact practice → return to competition. Each stage requires 24-hour symptom-free clearance before advancement. There is no shortcut, and the "day-to-day" framing should not be read as a signal that return is imminent. Wembanyama must clear every step before being considered for reinstatement. With the NBA playoffs underway in late April, there will be significant pressure to compress this timeline — but concussion protocol is non-negotiable and league-mandated. OTM will not generate a return estimate here; symptom trajectory and protocol progression are the only variables that matter.
