San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the rest of the 2024-2025 regular season due to a shoulder injury, the team announced Thursday. The All-Star center has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in the right shoulder, per the team.
Wembanyama’s condition, which refers to a blood clot in a vein located deep in the body, was discovered when he return to San Antonio after participating in the All-Star Game in San Francisco this past weekend. The French national played on Team Chuck, a team made up of the league’s international stars.
The team did not provide a specific timeline, saying only that he was “expected to miss” the rest of the regular season.
Last weekend marked Wembanyama’s first All-Star appearance since arriving in the league last season. The 21-year-old sensation had a dominant first season, picking up Rookie of the Year and leading the league in blocks.
This season, Wembanyama had been averaging 24.3 points and 11 rebounds per game, while also contributing 3.8 blocks and 1.1 steals per game on the defensive end.
The Spurs currently sit towards the bottom of the Western Conference with a 23-29 record.
