San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a blood clot condition, deep vein thrombosis, found in his right shoulder.
The diagnosis was confirmed after he returned from the All-Star Game, and the condition is typically treated with blood-thinning medication, which prevents participation in contact sports like basketball.
This health issue marks the second major blow for the Spurs this season, following coach Gregg Popovich’s stroke.
Wembanyama had been a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year and was having an outstanding season, averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, and 3.8 blocks per game.
The news of his diagnosis shocked many in the league, with some, like LeBron James, expressing admiration for Wembanyama’s mindset and potential for the future despite the setback.
