Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama, diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right shoulder, will miss the remainder of the season. The diagnosis, made after his return from the All-Star Game, is a setback for the Spurs, currently 12th in the Western Conference and unlikely to qualify for the playoffs. Wembanyama had an impressive season, averaging 24.3 points, 11 rebounds, and leading the league in blocks. His absence means he is ineligible for several awards due to the 65-game rule. Wembanyama is a key figure in the NBA, with substantial popularity both in San Antonio and France.
