San Antonio Spurs All-Star center Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the rest of the season with a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, the team announced on Thursday.
Thrombosis occurs when blood turns into clumps inside a blood vessel, creating a blood clot. ESPN reported that the Spurs believe it is an isolated issue.
'The condition was discovered when Wembanyama returned to San Antonio following the All-Star Game in San Francisco,' the Spurs said. 'Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 regular season. The team will provide updates as appropriate.'Wembanyama, 21, was listed as doubtful on the injury report on Wednesday because of illness ahead of the Spurs' game Thursday against the Phoenix Suns in Austin, Texas.
He is averaging 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a league-high 3.8 blocks in 46 starts this season. Named the NBA Rookie of the Year last season, the 7-foot-3 Wembanyama competed in his first All-Star Game last weekend.
The Spurs selected the France native first overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. In parts of two seasons, he is averaging 22.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.7 blocks in 117 games (all starts).
