In the wake of star Spurs player Victor Wembanyama's concussion, San Antonio Spurs Head Team Orthopaedic Surgeon Dr. Leah Brown joins Pediatrics Now Host Holly Wayment to discuss concussion recognition and early traumatic brain injury (TBI) identification.

They talk about what happens medically in real time when a head injury is suspected and what pediatricians and frontline providers need to know to recognize and respond to concussion and early TBI.

It also reviews practical tools like SCAT-6, stepwise return-to-learn before return-to-play, activity progression thresholds, when to escalate care or image, the limits of protective headgear, and the need to change sports culture to prioritize brain health.
