圣安东尼奥——圣安东尼奥马刺队球星维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)于周日首次向媒体发表讲话，这是自今年二月因右肩深静脉血栓而被宣布赛季报销以来。
但他拒绝深入探讨有关他康复的具体情况，只是说：“我不会详细说明我的病历。”
文班亚马表示：“我已经摆脱了这个问题”，并补充说他已经开始在可控的环境下进行轻重量举重和场上训练。文班亚马尚未获准进行对抗训练。
当被问及他的病情是否源于结构性问题时，文班亚马说：“我知道是不是”，但这位2023-24年度最佳新秀没有详细说明。
文班亚马也拒绝透露他是否接受了手术作为治疗的一部分。
“当你因血栓去医院时，除了手术之外还有很多事情，”文班亚马说。“我们正在慢慢来，我的康复既不晚也不早，但这是一个过程，我肯定需要经历一些步骤。当时，我肯定不知道（病情的严重程度）。但回想起来，我确实感觉有点不对劲。在全明星赛上，我的状态并不是最佳。学习和理解这件事绝非易事。
“我认为我做了，并且仍在尽我们所能，照顾好我的身体，并信任医疗团队的出色工作。我确信这将是我用来成长和变得更好的东西。”
当圣安东尼奥在全明星赛后宣布文班亚马将缺席本赛季剩余比赛时，球队对这位二年级球员的长期健康状况表示乐观。
“我们所说的（关于文班亚马的康复）一直是一致的，”马刺队代理教练米奇·约翰逊(Mitch Johnson)说。“他将在明年训练营前做好准备。一切进展顺利。我知道这不是什么爆炸性新闻，但这是个好消息。”
据联盟消息人士透露，文班亚马在全明星周末后的一次旅行中开始感到右肩不适，这促使球队对这位21岁的球员进行了一系列检查，从而发现了他的病情。
文班亚马缺席了圣安东尼奥本赛季的最后36场比赛，并依靠“积极心态”来帮助他克服无法与队友一起完成本赛季的痛苦。
文班亚马说：“我从这里的出色的人们那里得到了所有的关注，他们都非常敬业，从我去医院就诊等等，我认为我得到了作为一名病人所能得到的最好的照顾。回想起来，我真的很幸运。这件事发生了。但我们所有人都会处理我们遇到的事情。我仍然是1%最幸运的人。我没有什么可抱怨的。”
尽管缺席了近一半的赛季，文班亚马仍然将以176次盖帽成为2024-25赛季的NBA盖帽王，但他没有资格参与NBA年度最佳防守球员的评选，因为他没有达到参赛至少65场比赛的资格。
但这并不会阻止文班亚马支持队友斯蒂芬·卡斯尔(Stephon Castle)成为连续第二位赢得NBA年度最佳新秀的马刺队球员。
文班亚马说：“你只有一次机会赢得它。在那之后，一切都结束了。这是一个重要的里程碑，我为斯蒂芬在适应联盟和成长方面所做的一切感到自豪。我也为我的队友们感到自豪，因为他们也给了他这样做的机会。”
卡斯尔称文班亚马的受伤“令人难过”，并对未来圣安东尼奥可能出现由他们以及二月份通过交易加盟马刺队的德阿隆·福克斯(De’Aaron Fox)组成的新三巨头感到兴奋。
卡斯尔告诉ESPN：“能够参与到这种关于圣安东尼奥悠久历史的讨论中，绝对是一种很棒的感觉。这充分说明了我的两位队友以及我的实力。我们不希望本赛季变成这样。我不知道什么时候会实现，但我们的目标是最终在这里取得胜利。”
福克斯在三月份接受了赛季报销手术，以修复他左手小指的肌腱损伤，但他预计将在两周内获准进行篮球活动。福克斯和文班亚马本赛季一共只一起打了五场比赛。
福克斯说：“我们想成为联盟中最好的挡拆组合。我们有两个非常有活力的人，可以随时随地选择我们的位置。如果你能够真正将这种组合结合在一起，我觉得这将是一件很难阻止的事情。我当然对未来感到兴奋。这些家伙还很年轻，但我感觉，而且球队也感觉，大家已经准备好赢球了。如果你能尽可能长时间地打开那扇窗户，那永远是目标。”
但谁将肩负起指导圣安东尼奥未来发展的重任仍然存在不确定性。
名人堂教练格雷格·波波维奇(Gregg Popovich)在本赛季仅进行了六场比赛后就患上了轻微中风，这迫使他缺席了剩余的76场比赛。波波维奇已经宣布他打算在下赛季回归，但目前尚不清楚他是否能通过医疗许可。
这让马刺队在进入夏季时陷入了困境，但文班亚马对球队的发展方向仍然毫不动摇。
文班亚马说：“回首往事，发生了很多事情。当然，这是意想不到的。当然（对下赛季感到兴奋），我不会对此过多展开，因为我还有更多的事情要做。但我很渴望，我也会做好准备。我相信球队。我相信波普会竭尽所能回来并恢复他的活力。我也相信米奇（约翰逊）会成长为那个角色。所以我认为我们得到了很好的支持，整个球队都在互相支持。所以我不知道。我准备好迎接任何挑战。”

Wembanyama (clot) says he’s progressed to lifting weights
SAN ANTONIO – San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama addressed the media Sunday for the first time since February, when he was ruled out for the season because of deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
He declined to delve into specifics regarding his recovery, though, saying, “I’m not going to expand on my medical record.”
Wembanyama did say, “I’m over this problem,” adding he has already started light weightlifting and on-court work in a controlled setting. Wembanyama still isn’t yet cleared for contact.
Asked whether his condition stemmed from a structural issue, Wembanyama said, “I know whether it was or not,” but the 2023-24 Rookie of the Year didn’t elaborate.
Wembanyama also refused to reveal whether he underwent surgery as part of his treatment.
“There’s many more things than surgery when you go to the hospital for a blood clot,” Wembanyama said. "We’re taking our time and I’m neither late or early [in recovery], but it’s a process and there are definitely steps for me to reach. At the time, I definitely didn’t know [the extent of the condition]. But looking back I did feel a certain way. I wasn’t in the best shape ever at the All-Star Game. By no means was it easy to learn and process.
“I think I did and I’m still doing the best we can do, taking care of my body and trusting the incredible work of the medical staff. I’m sure it’s something I’m going to use to grow and be better.”
When San Antonio announced Wembanyama would be out for the remainder of the season after the All-Star break, the team expressed optimism about the second-year player’s long-term health.
“Everything we’ve said [about Wembanyama’s recovery] has been consistent,” Spurs acting coach Mitch Johnson said. “He’ll be ready to go by camp next year. Things are going well. I know it’s not hot news, but it’s good news.”
Wembanyama first started feeling discomfort in his right shoulder on a trip after All-Star Weekend, according to league sources, prompting the organization to run the 21-year-old through a battery of tests that revealed his condition.
Wembanyama sat out the last 36 games of San Antonio’s season and leaned on “perspective” to help him overcome the anguish of not being on the court with his teammates to close the season.
“All the attention I got from the incredible people here [who are] incredible at their jobs, from my visits to the hospital and such, I think I got as good of care as you can get as a patient,” Wembanyama said. “Looking back, I’m really lucky. This happened. But all of us, we deal with what we get. I’m still in the 1% luckiest people. I’ve got nothing to complain about.”
Despite missing nearly half the season, Wembanyama will still finish 2024-25 as the NBA’s leader in blocked shots (176) but will be ineligible for consideration for NBA Defensive Player of the Year because he didn’t play in the minimum 65 games to qualify.
That won’t stop Wembanyama from rooting for teammate Stephon Castle to become the second straight Spur to win NBA Rookie of the Year.
“You get one chance to win it,” Wembanyama said. “After that, it’s over. It’s a big milestone and I’m proud of Steph for what he’s done in his adaptation in the league and his growth. I’m proud of my teammates for also giving him the chance to do that.”
Castle called Wembanyama’s injury “tough” and expressed excitement about the possibility of a new Big Three in San Antonio in the future that features them alongside new addition De’Aaron Fox, who joined the Spurs in February through a trade.
“That’s definitely a great feeling to even be in that kind of conversation with all the history that’s already in San Antonio,” Castle told ESPN. “That just speaks very highly of my two teammates and very highly of me. We didn’t want it to be like this this season. I don’t know when it’s going to come, but the goal is for us to eventually win here.”
Fox underwent season-ending surgery in March to repair tendon damage in his left pinkie finger but expects to be cleared in another two weeks for basketball activity. Fox and Wembanyama played a total of five games this season together.
“We want to be the best pick-and-roll combo in the league,” Fox said. “We have two guys who are extremely dynamic and can pick and choose our spots whenever we want. If you’re able to really put together that type of combination, I feel like it is going to be a hard thing to stop. I’m definitely excited [for the future]. These guys are young, but I feel like, and the organization feels like guys are ready to win. If you can open that window for as long as you possibly can, that’s always the goal.”
But uncertainty remains regarding what coach will be tasked with guiding San Antonio’s next evolution.
Hall of Fame coach Gregg Popovich suffered a mild stroke just six games into the season, which forced him to miss the remaining 76 contests. Popovich has announced his intentions to return next season, but it’s unclear whether he’ll be cleared medically.
That leaves the Spurs in limbo headed into the summer, but Wembanyama remains unfazed about the direction of the franchise.
“Looking back, a lot happened,” Wembanyama said. “Unexpected of course. Of course [there’s excitement for next season], and I’m not going to expand on that too much because [more] remains to do for me. But I’m hungry and I will be ready. I trust the organization. I trust Pop to [do] all he can to come back and get his energy back. I also trust Mitch [Johnson] to grow into that role. So I think we are in good hands supporting each other all throughout the organization. So I don’t know. I’m ready for anything.”
