The young basketball player Victor Wembanyama, star of the San Antonio Spurs, has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, a news that has shocked the basketball world. This serious condition will keep him off the courts for the rest of the season, creating uncertainty about his future in the sport.
Deep vein thrombosis is a serious condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein of the body, in this case, in Wembanyama's right shoulder. This scenario has concerned both doctors and fans of the player and the team.
The usual treatment for deep vein thrombosis involves the use of anticoagulants, which prevent the formation of new clots and dissolve existing ones. However, these medications also increase the risk of bleeding, complicating the situation for a high-performance athlete like Wembanyama.
From the player's camp, it is reported that the Spurs are working with the hope that Victor will fully recover and be able to return to play in the future. There is even a possibility that he could participate in this summer's European championship if he chooses to do so.
The news about Wembanyama's illness has generated a wave of solidarity in the NBA. Players, coaches, and fans have expressed their support for the young French star, considered one of the brightest prospects in basketball worldwide.
These events come shortly after Spurs coach Gregg Popovich suffered a stroke, which has deeply impacted the team and raised concerns about the future of the franchise.
