The NBA world came to a standstill the morning of February 20 as it was announced that San Antonio Spurs’ young superstar Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the season after being diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
The condition was discovered after Wembanyama returned to the Spurs after participating in the All-Star Game in San Francisco this past weekend. Essentially, Wembanyama has a blood clot deep within his shoulder and significant playtime could seriously damage Wembanyama’s long-term future. On the bright side, the Spurs reportedly believe this is a one-time issue and that Wembanyama will make a full recovery.
Here is what the NBA world has to say about the devastating, unpredictable injury.
