Huge shock in the world of sport with the announcement of Victor Wembanyama’s injury this Thursday, February 20, which could leave irremediable traces …
It is a cataclysm that came across French Victor Wembanyama and basketball fans. Thursday, February 20, ESPN announced that the French would probably miss the end of the season with the San Antonio Spurs due to a “Deep venous thrombosis” on the right shoulder. This problem was detected when the All Star Game’s “Weby” returns according to the Texan team press release. “”Victor felt that his arm was not completely normal. This is what he explained to our medical team “said on Thursday evening, the temporary coach of Spurs, Mitch Johnson. “They looked into the question and this is how we got there.”
In detail, thrombosis corresponds to the formation of a blood clot in a vein – often due to a hematoma, following a shock – and can have serious health consequences (going as far as a heart attack or stroke). And precisely, this is what worries the fans because if for the moment we are talking about the end of the season, the consequences could be much more serious because this injury is recurrent for the sportsmen exiled in the United States due to the many flights and the Decrease in altitude oxygen as well as dehydration linked to air conditioning which increases the risk of cailltan formation by making blood thicker.
An NBA star has already ended his career for the same injury
If the Los Angeles Lakers winger Brandon Ingram had been forced to put an end to his season for the same reason, his thoracic operation to decompress his veins has been effective and has since resumed his career, unlike other players , like the former Miami star, Chris Bosh, member of the Big Three with Dwayne Wade and Lebron James. For the moment, the staff of the Spurs is reassuring and does not consider the career of Victor Wembanyama ” in danger ”. “”Medical experts (…) say that it is forfeited for the season, and that there is no concern for the long -term health of Victor, or for anything related to basketball. ”
In the meantime, it is still too early to find out how Victor Wembanyama will be treated for this injury, nor what the consequences will be, but his teammates have already reacted to the image of legend Chris Paul. “”It’s hard, harder than anything, knowing what it represents for our team, but even more for what it represents for basketball and its love of the game. “
