奥斯汀 - 马刺队代理主教练米奇·约翰逊表示，医学专家告诉马刺队，他们有信心维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)能够克服他右肩的深静脉血栓，这一伤病导致他本赛季提前结束。
约翰逊说：“医学专家和比房间里所有人都聪明的人已经确认，他（本赛季）已经结束了，而且没有理由担心文班亚马的长期健康，无论是个人方面还是与篮球活动相关的任何方面，也没有理由不相信他会在下赛季开始前做好准备。”
约翰逊在马刺队周四晚上在穆迪体育馆对阵菲尼克斯太阳队的比赛前表示，文班亚马在从旧金山全明星周末回来后，抱怨说“他的手臂感觉不太正常”，马刺队开始担心他的健康。
约翰逊说：“我们的医疗团队注意到了这一点，他们进行了调查，这就是我们现在的情况。”
文班亚马在旧金山度过了一个繁忙的周末，包括几次公开露面，并在周日晚上的首届NBA全明星赛迷你锦标赛中表现出色。
约翰逊表示，关于文班亚马健康的“对话”可能从“周一左右”开始与球队的医疗团队进行。
文班亚马结束了他的第二个赛季，在46场比赛中场均得到24.3分、11.0个篮板、3.7次助攻、联盟领先的3.8个盖帽和1.1次抢断。
约翰逊说：“我认为这是毁灭性的消息，因为每当联盟失去像他这样重要的球员时，这都很艰难，因为你失去了一个球迷和人们喜欢观看的联盟主要球员。”
约翰逊说，自从文班亚马收到诊断结果后，他已经与他进行了交谈和短信。
约翰逊说：“就他的反应而言，我没有和他在一起。我不想谈论这件事，但我再次强调，我知道文班亚马喜欢打篮球。你看到了他在全明星周末期间的竞争，他想和他的队友在一起。我知道他想完成这件事，所以我只能想象（这有多么困难）。”
约翰逊说，老将俾斯麦·比永博(Bismack Biyombo)将顶替文班亚马首发对阵太阳队。
文班亚马通常的替补，查尔斯·巴锡(Charles Bassey)自2月初以来因膝盖受伤一直缺阵。约翰逊说，马刺队对巴锡能够在周五对阵底特律的比赛中复出“非常乐观”，这场比赛也在奥斯汀举行。
约翰逊在谈到巴锡的恢复情况时说：“情况正朝着正确的方向发展。”
在失去文班亚马之后，马刺队采取了一种“演出必须继续”的态度，因为他们知道联盟中没有人会为他们感到难过。
约翰逊说：“太阳队不在乎，活塞队明天也不会在乎。你醒来，你有工作要做，你有你的日程安排。”
约翰逊表示，他希望文班亚马在他的康复过程中“非常聪明和以过程为导向”，也就是说，他会像处理其他事情一样处理这件事。
约翰逊说：“他不会跳过任何步骤，他会以正确的方式进行。”
约翰逊说，俱乐部将对文班亚马的具体治疗方案保密，但他补充说，他相信这位21岁的法国人从长远来看会没事的。
约翰逊说：“这是一次小小的挫折，为了更大的复出。”

Spurs coach says experts expect Wembanyama to return next season
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama, right, talks with acting head coach Mitch Johnson during the first half of a Paris Games 2025 NBA basketball game against the Indiana Pacers in Paris, Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025.
AUSTIN - Medical experts have told the Spurs they are confident Victor Wembanyama will overcome the deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder that ended his season Thursday, acting Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said.
“The medical experts and the people that are smarter than everybody in the room have confirmed he’ll be done this year and that there is no concern for Victor’s long-term health personally or anything related to his basketball activities, and that there is no reason to not believe that he won’t be ready to go through the start of next season,” Johnson said.
The Spurs became concerned about Wembanyama’s health after he returned from All-Star weekend in San Francisco complaining that “his arm didn’t feel completely normal,” Johnson said before the Spurs’ game against Phoenix on Thursday night at Moody Coliseum.
“That was articulated to our medical staff,” Johnson said. “They looked into it and that’s how we got here.”
Wembanyama capped his busy weekend in San Francisco, which included several public appearances, with a strong performance in the inaugural NBA All-Star Game mini-tournament Sunday night.
Johnson said “conversations” with the team’s medical staff about Wembanyama’s health probably started “around Monday.”
Wembanyama ended his second season averaging 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, an NBA-leading 3.8 blocks and 1.1 steals over 46 games.
“It’s devastating news, I think, because anytime the league loses a player of that magnitude, it’s tough because you’re losing a main player of the league that the fans and people enjoy watching,” Johnson said.
Johnson said he has talked and texted with Wembanyama since he received the diagnosis.
“In terms of his reaction, I was not with him,” Johnson said. “I don’t want to speak into that, but again, I know Victor loves to play the game. You saw how he competed during All-Star weekend and he wants to be with his teammates. I know that he’d want to finish this thing out, so I can only imagine (how difficult this is).”
Johnson said journeyman Bismack Biyombo would start at center against the Suns.
Wembanyama’s usual backup, Charles Bassey, has been sidelined since early February with a knee injury. Johnson said the Spurs have a “good amount of optimism” Bassey will be ready to play in Friday’s game against Detroit, which is also in Austin.
“It’s trending in the right way,” Johnson said of Bassey’s recovery.
The Spurs have adopted a show-must-go-on attitude in the wake of the loss of Wembanyama, knowing that nobody in the league is going to feel sorry for them.
“The Suns don’t care and the Pistons won’t care tomorrow,” Johnson said. "You wake up, you got a job to do, and you have whatever your schedule says.
Johnson said he expects Wembanyama to be “very intellectual and process-driven” in his recovery, which is to say, he will handle it like he does everything else.
“He won’t skip steps and he’ll go about it the right way,” Johnson said.
Johnson said the club will keep private what exactly Wembanyama’s treatment will entail, but he added he’s confident the 21-year-old Frenchman will be fine long-term.
“It’s a minor setback for a major comeback,” Johnson said.
