The San Antonio Spurs' star was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder following the All-Star Game.

Victor Wembanyama, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year and first-time All-Star, has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
The condition was discovered after Wembanyama returned from the All-Star Game in San Francisco, and he is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
Wembanyama was a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year, averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, 3.8 blocks, and 3.7 assists per game this season.
