21-year-old diagnosed with deep vein thrombosisFrenchman was favourite for defensive player of year
Victor Wembanyama’s season looks to have ended after the San Antonio Spurs announced he is dealing with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
The Spurs said Wembanyama had been diagnosed when he returned from last week’s All-Star Game in San Francisco. DVT occurs when blood clots form in veins; the condition can be fatal if untreated. The Spurs said they expect the 21-year-old to miss the rest of the season.
