“我不知道自己要缺阵多久，”文班说道，“有一段时间，我允许自己感到完全的脆弱与无助。”
22岁的维克托·文班亚马 (Victor Wembanyama) 或许正走在跻身篮球之神和传奇行列的道路上——但在《Love》杂志的一次深度专访中，这位马刺球星透露，他也像普通人一样脆弱。
文班与记者雷吉·乌格武 (Reggie Ugwu) 的坦诚对话是该刊物“26年春夏刊”的一部分，于周五在线发布。在采访中，这位法国球星谈到了他在2025年2月确诊深静脉血栓（DVT）时的情感反应。
当他回忆起得知这种有时甚至会致命的血栓病症的那一刻时，那种脆弱感变得格外清晰：“当我第一次得知这个消息时，我崩溃了，”他告诉乌格武。
根据《快报》(Express-News) 专栏作家迈克·芬格 (Mike Finger) 此前的报道，在2025年2月确诊前，文班在场上一直感到“步履沉重”。据报道，当时他将其归咎于流感后的恢复缓慢。然而，在几乎将自己逼向极限后，文班撞上了一道无形的墙。

2026年2月15日，星期日，加利福尼亚州英格尔伍德，NBA全明星赛，代表世界队的法国中锋维克托·文班亚马在得分后回防。
“去年的全明星赛是我这辈子在篮球场上感觉最糟糕的一次，”他告诉《快报》，“我的意思是，我右臂的血流量可能只有正常的5%。”
在2025年2月20日全明星周末结束后不久，文班宣布了这一确诊结果，这让他缺席了2024-2025赛季的余下比赛：“我不知道自己要缺阵多久，”文班告诉乌格武，“有一段时间，我允许自己感到完全的脆弱与无助。”

然而，文班并没有让自己沉溺于这种情绪，而是迅速转换视角，将这次挫折视为一个新的篇章。“我转变了心态，开始将其视作一项挑战，”他说道，“如果这就是我生命中的彩票，我会尽我所能去最大化它的价值。”
在聘请了专家医疗团队协助康复，并从少林寺的高僧那里学到了一些功夫要领后，这位马刺球员如今回到了球场，并对比赛有了全新的感悟。
“我不再认为比赛是理所当然的，”文班亚马在2月19日的声明中表示，“因为我已经见识过，这一切可能会在瞬间戛然而止。”

Wemby opens up about deep vein thrombosis scare
“I didn’t know how long I was going to be out for,” Wemby said. “For a while, I allowed myself to feel totally vulnerable and defenceless.”
Victor Wembanyama, 22, might be on his way to earning his place among basketball gods and legends — but in an intimate interview with Love magazine, the Spurs star revealed he’s just as vulnerable as any mere mortal.
The candid talk between Wemby and reporter Reggie Ugwu was part of the publication’s “S/S 26 Issue,” published online Friday. In it, the French native discussed his emotional reaction to his February 2025 deep vein thrombosis diagnosis.
That vulnerability came into sharp focus when he recalled the troubling moment he learned about the sometimes-fatal blood clotting condition: “When I first learned the news, I broke down,” he told Ugwu.
According to previous Express-News reporting from columnist Mike Finger, Wemby had been feeling “sluggish” on the court leading up to his February 2025 diagnosis. At the time, he reportedly chalked it up to a slow recovery from the flu. However, after nearly pushing himself to his limit, Wemby hit a proverbial wall.

World center Victor Wembanyama, of France, runs back after scoring during the NBA All-Star basketball game against the USA Stars Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, in Inglewood, California.
“The All-Star Game last year was the worst I had ever felt on a basketball court in my life,” he told the Express-News. “I mean, I had maybe 5% of blood flow in my right arm.”
Soon after his return from the All-Star break on Feb. 20, 2025, Wemby announced the diagnosis that would take him out for the remainder of the 2024-2025 season: “I didn’t know how long I was going to be out for,” Wemby told Ugwu. “For a while, I allowed myself to feel totally vulnerable and defenceless.”

However, instead of allowing himself to sink further into that feeling, he quickly switched his perspective to see the setback as a new chapter. “I pivoted my mind and started looking at it as a challenge,” he said. “If this is my lottery ticket in life, I’m going to do everything that I can to get the most out of it.”
After enlisting a team of medical experts to aid in his recovery — and taking a few kung fu pointers from masters at a Shaolin monastery — the Spurs player is now back on the court with a new appreciation for the game.
“I’m not trying to take the game for granted,” Wembanyama said in his Feb. 19 statement, “because I’ve seen that it can end very quickly.”
