The basketball world was shocked by the news that Wembanyama, recently named to his first All-Star game, had his season cut short on Thursday.

San Antonio Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama is ruled out for the season due to a blood clot. The NBA world reacted to the news shortly after it was released. Wembanyama will miss the remainder of the regular season with a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, per ESPN's Sham Charania.

The Spurs are signaling optimism, with a team source telling The Athletic that Wembanyama is expected to be fully healthy and ready at the start of training camp in October. Per the team source, Wembanyama had been experiencing low energy in recent weeks which initially caused concern.
