The French club San Antonio Spurs announced this on Thursday.
NBA star Victor Wembanyaman the season may be over. The French club San Antonio Spurs says that the player is expected to be absent for the rest of the season.
Wembanyama suffers from a deep venous thrombosis in its right shoulder. A blood clot was observed when he returned to San Antonio after the NBA constellation.
The young Frenchman was selected as the newcomer of the NBA last year. For the first time this season, he got into a star game in his career. The most talked -about promise of the league’s decade has made an average of 24.3 points this season, grabbed 11 rebounds, given 3.7 assists and recorded 3.8 tackles per match.
Because of the absence, Wembanyama will lose its ability to awards after the season because he has not had time to play the required 65 matches. He was one of the favorites to win at least the prize as a defense player of the year.
San Antonio is currently ranked 12th at the Western Conference and is not so closed in the playoffs.
Spurs believes that Wembanyama will be recovering by the beginning of next season. This also allows the French national team to sigh for relief. The European Basketball Championships will be played at the end of August.
