San Antonio Spurs coach Mitch Johnson has expressed confidence in Victor Wembanyama’s recovery, stating there are “no concerns for his long-term health personally or basketball activities.” The 20-year-old center has been shut down due to a blood clot in his shoulder, which he developed despite showing signs of fatigue before the All-Star break.
Wembanyama joins a list of NBA players who have struggled with deep vein thrombosis, including Hall of Fame forward Chris Bosh and Los Angeles Lakers’ Brandon Ingram, both of whom had recurring issues that ended their careers prematurely. The Spurs have not provided a specific return date, but Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season.
