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.

Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama will miss the rest of the season with a deep vein thrombosis issue. If you’re here, you might be wondering if he’s still eligible to win the Defensive Player of the Year award after his blood clot.

The San Antonio Spurs star will miss the remainder of the season because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, the team announced on Thursday. "The condition was discovered when Wembanyama returned to San Antonio following the All-Star Game in San Francisco," the Spurs revealed in an official injury update.
