San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama will miss the rest of the season due to a blood clot in his right shoulder, discovered after the All-Star Game. The 21-year-old was averaging impressive stats for the Spurs, but his health is the priority. His absence will be felt both on and off the court, as he is a key player and leader in the locker room. Wembanyama, the No. 1 overall pick in 2023, had a standout rookie season and was named NBA Rookie of the Year. He also had a strong showing at the 2024 Olympics, leading France to a silver medal. The condition, known as vein thrombosis, can be serious, as seen with NBA legend Chris Bosh who retired due to a history of blood clots. The Spurs will have to adjust without Wembanyama, but his health is the main concern.
