Mandatory Credit: Scott Wachter-Imagn Images San Antonio Spurs All-Star center Victor Wembanyama is expected to return to the court by the start of training camp, ESPN reported on Tuesday.
Wembanyama missed the last two months of this season due to a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder. Thrombosis occurs when blood turns into clumps inside a blood vessel, creating a blood clot.
While that sounds scary, ESPN reported that the 21-year-old Frenchman is expected to be a full-go heading into next season.
Wembanyama averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and an NBA-leading 3.8 blocked shots in 46 starts this season.
Named the unanimous NBA Rookie of the Year last season in 2023-24, the 7-foot-3 Wembanyama competed in his first All-Star Game in 2024-25.
The Spurs selected Wembanyama first overall in the 2023 NBA Draft. In parts of two seasons, he is averaging 22.5 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.7 blocks in 117 games (all starts). He also has made 270 3-pointers.
