The San Antonio Spurs expect Victor Wembanyama to be good enough to play before the start of next season.
Wembanyama was closed for the rest of the 2024-25 season because of a blood clot in his shoulder. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said before the team’s match against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday evening that “there was no concern for the health of Victor (long-term) personally or his basketball activities Ball “. According to the San Antonio Express-News.
Wembanyama would have lacked energy leading to the star weekend and later said that his arm “did not feel completely normal,” reported L’Express-News.
“It was articulated by our medical staff,” said Johnson. “They examined it and that’s how we got here.”
Wembanyama is the Last NBA player to be diagnosed with deep venous thrombosis in recent years. His condition is not considered as serious as that of the renowned temple striker Chris Bosh, who missed the rest of the 2014-15 season with the Miami Heat after developing a blood clot in his lung. Bosh’s announcement occurred by 10 years and one day before the spurs closed. He returned for the first half of the following season, but was diagnosed with another blood clot in his calf, forcing him to miss the rest of the 2015-2016 calendar. The injury has essentially ended his career.
Toronto Raptors striker Brandon Ingram missed the rest of the 2018-19 season after developing deep venous thrombosis in his right arm with the Los Angeles Lakers. The second year Strait striker, Ausur Thompson, was also sidelined for almost eight months, from the beginning of March of his recruited season after being diagnosed with a blood clot.
The spurs did not provide a specific calendar for the return of WembanyamaOnly saying that he should “miss” the rest of the regular season.
