德克萨斯州奥斯汀——圣安东尼奥马刺队周四宣布，球队球星维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)预计将缺席本赛季剩余的所有比赛，原因是他的右肩患有深静脉血栓。
马刺队在一份声明中表示，在文班亚马参加完NBA全明星赛后返回圣安东尼奥后，发现了这一病症，这是一种血栓。通常情况下，这种病症需要用血液稀释药物来治疗，这通常会阻止球员参加篮球等接触性运动。
马刺队仍然乐观地认为，文班亚马将在2025-26赛季开始前完全康复。马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊表示，球队的医疗团队表示，这位法国球员的长期健康不会受到这次挫折的影响。
“医学专家和那些比房间里任何人都聪明的人已经说过并确认，他今年将结束比赛，而且维克托的长期健康，无论是个人还是与他的篮球活动相关的任何事情，都不必担心，”约翰逊说。“没有理由相信他不会为下个赛季做好准备。”
在21岁的文班亚马告诉球队的医疗团队，他从全明星赛回来后“他的手臂感觉不太正常”后，圣安东尼奥队决定对文班亚马进行一系列测试，约翰逊说。
“这始于周一左右的谈话，”他补充道。“我不清楚具体时间。是我们的医疗团队。他们对此进行了调查，我们才到了这里。”
作为卫冕年度最佳新秀和首次入选NBA全明星的球员，文班亚马为23胜29负的马刺队出战了46场比赛，场均得到24.3分、11.0个篮板、3.7次助攻和联盟领先的3.8次盖帽。
约翰逊形容球队关于文班亚马的声明是“毁灭性的消息”。
“这很艰难，”马刺队控球后卫克里斯·保罗说。“我认为这对我们所有人来说，最艰难的是知道他对于我们球队的意义，更重要的是知道他对于比赛的意义，以及他有多么热爱比赛。”
球队在声明中表示，将酌情提供关于文班亚马病情进展的最新消息。
“我认为每个人都明白，篮球是我们做的事情，而不是我们是谁，”保罗说。“所以，生活和一切都重要得多，但对我们来说，我们知道失去像他这样一位球队的重要成员，将通过团队合作来弥补。相信我，你无法取代文班。我不能站在一个人的肩膀上，盖掉每一个飞向篮筐的投篮。”
“除了他的篮球能力，他的个人魅力和他给更衣室带来的东西，我认为是我们最怀念的。”
约翰逊说，他一直与文班亚马保持联系，自从球员被诊断出病情后，两人一直在发短信。
“他只是希望他能和他的队友们在一起，这就是我想分享的，”约翰逊说。“我不想替别人说出他们的反应。但我认为，正如文班亚马希望和他的队友们在一起一样，他的队友们也喜欢并希望和他在一起。我知道他们，正如我们都感受到维克托为马刺队效力以及成为NBA的一员，以及热爱打比赛的自豪感和激情。因此，这对于一次重大的复出来说，只是一次小小的挫折。”
由于未达到65场比赛的最低要求，文班亚马将没有资格获得全NBA阵容、年度最佳防守球员和其他主要奖项。在马刺队宣布之前，文班亚马是ESPN BET年度最佳防守球员的-2000热门人选，并且吸引了比最接近的竞争者多三倍以上的赌注来赢得该奖项。
此后，孟菲斯灰熊队前锋小贾伦·杰克逊(Jaren Jackson Jr.)从+2500的赔率上升为年度最佳防守球员的-130热门。
文班亚马的离开是马刺队本赛季的第二次重大损失，距离格雷格·波波维奇教练(Gregg Popovich)遭遇轻微中风，被迫无限期离开场边大约3个半月。
本赛季，文班亚马已经投出了403个三分球，并盖帽176次。NBA历史上没有其他球员在一个赛季中完成过这些数据，而文班亚马在全明星赛前就做到了。
“[他]非常聪明并且以过程为导向，而且他不会跳过[康复的]步骤，”约翰逊说。“他会以正确的方式进行康复。”

Spurs shut down Victor Wembanyama over blood clot in shoulder
AUSTIN, Texas – San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the season, the team announced Thursday, because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
The Spurs said in a statement that the condition, a form of blood clot, was discovered after Wembanyama returned to San Antonio after the NBA All-Star Game. The condition is typically treated with blood-thinning medication, which usually precludes a player from participating in a contact sport such as basketball.
The Spurs remain optimistic Wembanyama will make a full recovery by the beginning of the 2025-26 season. Spurs acting head coach Mitch Johnson said the team’s medical staff has said that the Frenchman’s long-term health won’t be affected by this setback.
“The medical experts and the people that are smarter than everybody in the room have said and confirm that he’ll be done this year and there is no concern for Victor’s long-term health, personally, or anything related to his basketball activities,” Johnson said. “There is no reason to believe he won’t be ready to go starting next season.”
San Antonio decided to put Wembanyama through a battery of tests after the 21-year-old told the team’s medical staff earlier in the week after returning from the All-Star Game that “his arm didn’t feel completely normal,” Johnson said.
“This started by conversations around Monday,” he added. “I don’t know exactly the time. It was our medical staff. They looked into it, and that’s how we got here.”
The reigning Rookie of the Year and a first-time NBA All-Star, Wembanyama was averaging 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a league-leading 3.8 blocks in 46 games for the 23-29 Spurs.
Johnson described the team’s announcement regarding Wembanyama as “devastating news.”
“It’s tough,” Spurs point guard Chris Paul said. “Tough more than anything, I think for all of us, knowing how much he means to our team, but more so knowing how much he means to the game and how much he loves to play.”
The team said in its statement that updates on Wembanyama’s condition would be provided as appropriate.
“I think everybody understands that basketball is what we do and not who we are,” Paul said. "So, life and everything is so much more important, but for us, we know losing a big part of our team like that is [made up for] by committee. And trust me, you can’t replace Vic. I can’t stand on a guy’s shoulders and block every shot that comes to the rim.
“Aside from his basketball ability, his charisma and what he brings into the locker room I think is what we’ll miss the most.”
Johnson said he has remained in contact with Wembanyama and that the two have texted since the player’s diagnosis.
“He just wishes he could be with his teammates is what I would share,” Johnson said. “I don’t want to speak on someone’s reaction for them. But I think as much as Victor wanted to be with his teammates, his teammates enjoyed and want to be with him. I know they, as we all feel Victor’s pride and passion playing for the Spurs and being a part of the NBA and loving just to play the game. So, it’s a minor setback for a major comeback.”
Wembanyama will not be eligible for All-NBA, Defensive Player of the Year and other major awards because he did not meet the 65-game minimum. Wembanyama had been a -2000 favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year at ESPN BET and had attracted over three times as many bets to win the award as the next-closest contender prior to the Spurs’ announcement.
Afterward, Memphis Grizzlies forward Jaren Jackson Jr. moved from +2500 to Defensive Player of the Year favorite at -130.
Wembanyama’s departure registers as the second big loss for the Spurs this season, coming about 3½ months after coach Gregg Popovich suffered a mild stroke that forced him to take an indefinite leave from the sideline.
Wembanyama had already taken 403 3-pointers and blocked 176 shots this season. No player in NBA history has ever finished a season with those numbers, and Wembanyama did it before the All-Star break.
“[He’s] very intellectual and process-driven, and he won’t skip steps [in his recovery],” Johnson said. “He’ll go about it the right way.”
