Shams: Wemby OUT for the Remainder of the Season

[Spurminator]

hater with his one millionth doomsday post. how to you even get out of bed every morning?

Doomsday excites him. His kink is chaos.

[scott]

i wonder how this impacts his max extension down the road? or if it does at all?

It could potentially impact it and limit him to a 25% max rookie extension instead of a 30% max rookie extension.

To get a 30% max, by the end of his 4th season he will have needed to:

• Win MVP, or
• Make an All NBA team in his 4th season or two of the three proceeding seasons.

If he hasn't met that criteria, he can only sign a 25% max extension, HOWEVER it can be written that if in his 5th year he wins MVP or makes All NBA then the extension triggers the higher max amount.

Vet supermax extensions have an extra trigger if you win DPOY, but not Rookie Supermax extensions

[baseline bum]

Doyers killed MLB tbh.

At least one good thing about this last year

[Arcadian]

Also time to keep sending Castle to get his ROTY.

On the bright side, this should help Castle win ROTY since he'll presumably be carrying more of the offensive load now...

[baseline bum]

I'll risk being a re , but as someone who doesn't know about medicine, why the blood thinners and not just blood clot removal?
If organs are being replaced with ease, what's the issue with blood clots if it's just an isolated incident and not a condition that causes more clots to form?

If it becomes a pulmonary embolism it's life threatening.

[hater]

But for PATFO to state that they are optimistic that he will be back by next season should be a good news. The Spurs are known not to rush making statements unless they are certain

Lmao u kidding right?

Nobody knows the longtime prognosis at this point

Its just wishful thinking by Spurs

[Pauleta14]

Does this make him ineligible for DPOY?

That would be a massive shame, if so, because he basically had it secured already...

It's over, he won't reach the 65 games

It makes me think of all the media saying last season "he has time to get the DPOY" to justify not voting for him smh

[Leetonidas]

Bro I'm legit depressed now. This ing sucks. Watching our developing team is one of my few escapes from this ty reality we're living in. God dammit this sucks balls

He will likely be on blood thinners for the rest of his life but that should not affect his play in any way.

[Russ]

This whole sentence is giving me Kawhi flashbacks.

I sure hope this doesn't end up in recriminations between "camps" that forever taint the relationship.

(Although Wemby doesn't seem like the type.)

[RC_Drunkford]

So it was the reason for his poor conditioning then..?

How can thrombosis in his shoulder affect his overall energy levels though? That almost seems to be a lung issue.

[Degoat]

Big Gut punch for the season tbh but we can’t rule him out long term, gotta believe it’s an isolated occurrence

[John B]

Wemby is a fighter and we’re talking about a multi-billion player with all the endorsements, money for the game, the city. Wemby will have all the experts all over the world to help him get through this.

[scott]

Would a doctor clear a player if he's on blood thinners for the rest of his life? With the amount of contact and falling down in basketball seems like that would be a concern. I know they get extremely concerned about normal patients on blood thinners being a fall risk due to the possibility of excessive bleeding

[Arcadian]

It makes me think of all the media saying last season "he has time to get the DPOY" to justify not voting for him smh

And of course, this happens the year after they introduce the 65 game minimum. So if it was 2023, he could have still won awards.

This is balls, man.

I'm a hematologist. I think Victor may have this:

Paget-Schroetter: A Thrombosis Syndrome in the Young and Healthy | ASH Clinical News | American Society of Hematology

He will need to be on blood thinners (anticoagulation) for a period of time. Sometimes thrombolysis (destroy clot with a catheter) or surgery is needed. If he indeed has this, then he will make a full recovery and this should not threaten his career. I suspect Spurs medical staff will have him get a CT scan of the lungs to make sure there is not blood clot in the lungs.

[Mugen]

Well I guess it wasn't allergies

[Raven]

good god.

Does discovering this earlier makes a difference ? Not like before a stroke, but as with cancer

Thanks for weighing and good to have you here!

As a hematologist, what are your thoughts on the possibility of Wemby playing while on blood thinners? My experience when I had to be on blood thinners briefly (following a minor stroke) was that doctors were very hesitant to have me doing anything that presented a bleeding risk.

Thanks for being here to lend actual expertise to concerned fans!

thanks for the info, this is good stuff.

i guess ill ask you what i asked my doctor buddy (not a hemotologist, so you'd be a more authoritative figure to ask)... would DVT in the shoulder, without a clot in the lungs, have any explanatory power for shortness of breath or lack of energy?

RIP "Sneezy" nickname tbh.
