The NBA was rocked by distressing news on Thursday when the San Antonio Spurs announced that star Victor Wembanyama was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder and will likely miss the rest of the season.
The Spurs discovered the condition when Wembanyama returned to San Antonio following the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday. The Spurs center reportedly showed signs of “low energy” prior to the game that persisted into this week, leading the team to run medical tests that revealed the deep vein thrombosis, which is essentially a blood clot.
