Sucks. But players recover from blood clots more often than not and go on to have healthy career's.

a bummer for sure but could be lots worse I guess.
Usually Doom n' Gloom is my specialty but happy to play Johnny Optimist here tbh.
First and foremost, don't want to downplay the severity of this. Blood clots are no joke but so I'm happy they found it early enough and the kid should be okay.
But looking at silver linings...
-Timing wise, you really can't ask for much better. Post Fox trade. Post ASG. Enough runway to try and get into the bottom 8 in a pretty loaded draft. Sucks that Wemby won't be eligible for DPOY and All NBA but if we're trusting the intel, then he should have no problem winning plenty of those in the near future
-I very much had legit concerns about Wemby's toughness as evidenced by his play in January that a lot of people were excusing because of allergies. I'm going to go ahead and dismiss those concerns if the kid was actually playing through something as serious as blood clots tbh. Wemby legit looked like the best player in the league in December. So if that's the Wemby we're going to get once he's fully recovered then this franchise should be just fine.
We're talking about arguably the most tight-lipped/cagey organization in the league when it comes to player/personnel health (see Nephew, Old Man). If credible sources like Shams are saying the FO doesn't have long term concerns about Vic's health this soon after the announcement, then I'd believe them tbh.
This actually got leaked from two different sources on reddit about 45 minutes before Shams posted. One leaker who claims to have gotten it from the medical staff, another who claims to have gotten the news from the security staff.
Great post!
Feel a little better about this. Just got to hope this isn't a reoccurring thing.
Oh cmon
This is so shocking
Good call. But I meant that I really don't see this FO making the "no concerns about his long-term health" statement flippantly.
I don't see the value in making that call this soon unless you were 110% sure. Or were super nefarious in deluding season ticket holders and/or prospective investors tbh
Damn. Prayers up for the young buck and his family.
We’re thinking of you Victor. Hoping you make a full recovery to be able to play the game you love. Privileged to watch you do it.

Ouch, Victory Capital and Dell. Hope Holt Jr isn't the failson that Dumont is.
Thanks for posting this. I've seen this Doctor's video's before and he's pretty good.
I wonder if Victor is going to require the surgery he mentioned about about taking the pressure away in that area.
Also, very interesting he mentioned about overhead athletes and repe ion motion injuries. A few posters here had great search skills that bought up that repe ive injury cause. I also think trauma to that area also could have also caused it.
I hope he’s correct. But why does this dude have time to make videos?
Only fair if the league gives us a top 4 pick now. Isn't that how this works?
just wondering if the spurs can use a "we saved your life" strategy when it comes time to extend him beyond his rookie contract.
Is Wemby allowed to be interviewed at least?
We wanna know he is ok
why do we all have time to post here
Three things usually cause DVTs. Injury, a predisposition for clotting (like something genetic or cancer) and stasis (the blood not circulating-make sure you get up and walk around during those long haul flights, lol).
Guessing his was injury.
Spurs will likely check whether he has a predisposition, but that seems unlikely as it might have appeared by now in a professional athlete playing a contact sport.
He will be put on a blood thinner like eliquis, or Xarelto if he ended up with a pulmonary embolism (PE).
PE would be worst case scenario.
If it's really fresh, Eliquis can make it go away very quickly and can completely resolve it.
Unfortunately, one you do get a DVT, you are predisposed for another one.
I’ll give you that
Wemby pulling a DRob for us
In all seriousness, nothing else matters when your health is down. Get well soon Wemby, you will come back stronger.
We will continue to root for our Spurs while you're out!
I did not expect that
I blame Adam Silver
They can and do suck them out, but he will still need blood thinners afterwards
