Victor Wembanyama's promising rookie season with the San Antonio Spurs is reportedly coming to an abrupt end due to a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, a potentially serious condition involving blood clots. The Spurs announced the diagnosis following his participation in last week's All-Star Game. Wembanyama, a highly touted player with an impressive combination of height and skill, was enjoying a breakout season, averaging 24.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game and was recently named an All-Star. The team currently sits 12th in the Western Conference.
DVT occurs when blood clots form in veins; the condition can be fatal if untreated.
Wembanyama was averaging 24.3 points and 11.3 rebounds a game this season.
The Spurs expect the 21-year-old to miss the rest of the season.
Wembanyama was named an All-Star for the first time this season.
