圣安东尼奥马刺队中锋维克托·文班亚马在2025年3月12日（星期三）于圣安东尼奥举行的NBA篮球比赛下半场中，对阵达拉斯小牛队时做出的反应。
目前执教马刺队和法国国家队的两名教练远隔重洋。
两人之间的物理距离是巨大的。他们谈论维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)健康的方式也是如此。
就在弗雷德里克·法图(Frédéric Fauthoux)透露这位7尺3寸的超级球星最近接受了手术，以解决2月20日结束他第二个NBA赛季的右肩深静脉血栓形成问题的同一天，米奇·约翰逊礼貌地避开了这个话题。
据法国出版物《队报》报道，法图的评论是在周四的2025年欧洲篮球锦标赛小组抽签后发表的。他说他希望文班亚马能够及时康复，参加今年夏天的欧洲篮球锦标赛。
该赛事定于8月27日开始。
“我们在他手术前和他谈过，”法图根据《队报》报道说。“他有动力成为球队的一员。我们将观察他的身体发展情况，并在时机成熟时做出决定。我们和他都处于有点不确定的状态。他感觉很好。他的康复进展顺利。”
自格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)11月2日突发轻微中风以来一直担任代理马刺队教练的约翰逊，也赞同法图的观点，认为文班亚马“感觉良好”，但除此之外没有多说什么。
“我将坚持我们内部的消息，我们将暂时把他的计划和方案保密，但他的健康显然是最重要的，而且他做得非常好，”约翰逊在周四晚上以124-116输给克利夫兰的比赛之前说。
该组织中的其他人也拒绝评论文班亚马是否接受了手术。
马刺队（31胜41负）在比赛结束后返回圣安东尼奥，约翰逊可能会在周六晚上对阵波士顿凯尔特人队（在取得七连胜后战绩为54胜19负）的比赛前，面临更多关于文班亚马健康状况的问题。
在克利夫兰，约翰逊确实回答了一个问题，关于这位全明星中锋在接受了五周的治疗以及漫长的恢复之路后，精神状态如何。
“他讨厌离开他的队友，并且想尽可能多地和他们在一起，而且真的非常想念在球场上的感觉，”约翰逊说。“但他肯定会尽可能多地出现，而且他会一直烦着我们，直到我们能让他重返球场。”
周四晚上的比赛是马刺队1胜2负的三场客场之旅的最后一场，这也是在文班亚马确诊后参加了几场比赛后，连续第八场他没有出现在替补席上的比赛。

深静脉血栓形成 (DVT) 是指在静脉内形成血栓。这种情况不被认为是危及生命的，但由此产生的并发症可能会很严重，因为血栓有可能松动并通过血液流向肺部或大脑。
一位专家在马刺队宣布文班亚马患有深静脉血栓形成后告诉《圣安东尼奥新闻快报》，患有潜在胸廓出口综合征（一种锁骨和第一根肋骨之间的血管受到压迫的疾病）的患者需要进行手术以防止血栓复发。
“好消息是，我们在很多运动员身上都看到了这种情况，”位于加利福尼亚州喷泉谷的纪念橙色海岸医疗中心的血管外科医生克里斯托弗·伊(Christopher Yi)博士说，他对文班亚马的医疗记录没有直接了解。“他们恢复得很好，并再次在高水平上竞争。”
另一位专家在二月份告诉《新闻快报》，治疗的第一步通常是抗凝药物——这种选择会阻止像文班亚马这样的患者在服用血液稀释剂的同时安全地参加接触性运动。
“患有血栓的患者几乎肯定会在数周或数月内服用药物作为初始治疗，”圣安东尼奥 TSAOG 骨科与脊柱治疗中心的骨科医生乔什·贝尔(Josh Bell)说。“如果你在服用血液稀释剂的情况下参加 NBA 比赛，并且，比如说，头部受到撞击，那么你现在的问题就更大了。”
不过，贝尔明确表示，他对文班亚马的医疗记录没有直接了解。
约翰逊在上周五在霜冻银行中心战胜费城之前表示，文班亚马的康复“进展顺利”，俱乐部仍然乐观地认为他将准备好在2025-26赛季开始时“全力以赴”。
约翰逊称文班亚马的康复是一个“漫长而有条不紊的过程”和一个他必须遵循的“非常分层的过程”，并且必须“一丝不苟”。
“所以，一切进展顺利。（文班亚马）只是在现阶段遵守计划，”约翰逊说。
文班亚马一直在举重和骑室内自行车，努力在他离开球场期间保持良好的身体状态。
“有一个广泛的计划，让他尽可能地积极和具有侵略性，而又不会做太多，”约翰逊说。

Spurs mum on Wembanyama surgery report
San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama reacts to a play during the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Dallas Mavericks in San Antonio, Wednesday, March 12, 2025.
An ocean separates the two men currently coaching the Spurs and the French national team.
The physical distance separating the two is vast. The same is true of the way they approach talking about Victor Wembanayama’s health.
On the same day Frédéric Fauthoux let it slip that the 7-foot-3 superstar had recently undergone surgery to address the deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder that ended his second NBA season Feb. 20, Mitch Johnson politely avoided the topic.
Fauthoux’s comments came Thursday after the group stage draw for EuroBasket 2025. He said he was hopeful Wembanyama would recover in time to participate in the EuroBasket tournament this summer, the French publication L’Equipe reported.
The tournament is set to begin Aug. 27.
“We spoke to him before his surgery," Fauthoux said, according to L’Equipe. “He’s motivated to be part of the team. We’ll see how his physical evolution progresses, and we’ll make the decision when the time comes. We’re in a bit of a limbo and so is he. He’s feeling good. Everything is going well in his recovery.”
Johnson, who has been the acting Spurs coach ever since Gregg Popovich suffered a mild stroke Nov. 2, echoed Fauthoux’s belief that Wembanyama is “feeling good” but had little else to say about it.
“I will kind of stay on message in terms of we’re going to keep his plan and program in house for now, but his health is obviously the (biggest) priority, and he is doing very well,” Johnson said before Thursday night’s 124-116 loss at Cleveland.
Others in the organization also declined to comment about whether Wembanyama had surgery.
The Spurs (31-41) returned after the game to San Antonio, where Johnson could face more questions about Wembanyama’s health before Saturday night’s game against the Boston Celtics (54-19 after winning seven straight).
In Cleveland, Johnson did respond to a question about the All-Star center’s state of mind after five weeks of treatment and a long road still ahead of him.
“He hates being away from his teammates and wants to be around as much as possible and is really missing being on the floor,” Johnson said. “But he’ll be around as much as he can, I’m sure, and he’s going to be a pain until we can get him back on the floor.”
Thursday night’s game, the last of a three-game road trip in which the Spurs went 1-2, marked the eighth in a row they have played without Wembanyama on the bench after he had attended several games following his diagnosis.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) occurs when a blood clot forms within a vein. The condition is not considered life-threatening, but complications from it can be because a clot has the potential to loosen and travel through the bloodstream to the lungs or brain.
A patient with an underlying case of thoracic outlet syndrome – a condition in which blood vessels become compressed between the clavicle and first rib – would require surgery to prevent blood clots from returning, an expert told the San Antonio Express-News after the Spurs announced Wembanyama had DVT.
“The good thing is, we see this in a lot of athletes,” said Dr. Christopher Yi, a vascular surgeon at Memorial Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., who had no direct knowledge of Wembanyama’s medical chart. “They recover well and go on to compete at a high level again.”
The first step in treatment, another expert told the Express-News in February, is typically an anti-coagulant medication – an option that would prohibit patients like Wembanyama from safely participating in contact sports while on the blood thinners.
“Patients with a blood clot are almost certainly going to be on medication for weeks or months as an initial treatment,” said Josh Bell, an orthopedic surgeon at TSAOG Orthopedics & Spine Treatment Center in San Antonio. “If you play in an NBA game on blood thinners and, let’s say, get hit in the head, now you’ve got a much bigger issue.”
Bell, though, made it clear he had no direct knowledge of Wembanyama’s medical chart.
Johnson said before last Friday’s win over Philadelphia at the Frost Bank Center that Wembanyama’s rehabilitation was “going well” and that the club remained optimistic he will be ready to “hit the ground running” at the start of the 2025-26 season.
Johnson called Wembanyama’s rehabilitation a “long, methodical process” and a “very layered process” he has to follow and “be meticulous with.”
“So, everything’s going well. (Wembanyama) is just adhering to the plan at this point,” Johnson said.
Wembanyama had been lifting weights and riding the stationary bike in an effort to keep his conditioning strong while he’s away from the court.
“There’s an extensive plan for him to be as active and aggressive as he wants to be without doing too much,” Johnson said.
