Shams: Wemby OUT for the Remainder of the Season

[spursistan]

And here is a video of Fox with comments about Wemby, similar to the Castle video: https://www.reddit.com/r/NBASpurs/co...st_so_down_to/

Sounds like an amazing teammate to be around and that everyone loves him.

In action Total opposite of He Who Shall Not Be Named in the same shoes

I thought the treatment for blood clot meant no contact whatsoever, does that mean he hasn't done it yet?

Is there any news in that regard?

Treatment for now is likely just blood thinners. You don't need to live in a bubble when you're on blood thinners - lots of people live their every day normal lives while taking them. He just needs to avoid the kind of contact that puts him at risk for falls and bleeds, those are what are dangerous for people on blood thinners.

Yeah, I expect him to do all of his individual work and come back with a few more weapons in his arsenal.

Wemby gonna come back built like DRob, with Steph's shooting, Kyrie's handles and Kareem's post game

Thanks for those videos, scott

It will be a couple of months before they really know anything would be my guess.
After seeing how involved he is and that flying is a risk for the next few months, I could see this period being a career-defining time for such a student of the game. He may come back with more drive and a deeper understanding of how to take the next step to both help his team and in his legendary trajectory. I would not be surprised to see him close to the top 5 MVP candidates next season.

I've actually been thinking about this for the past week or so. Firstly, I am hoping that he comes back 100%, and there will be no issue going forward, and it will be a distant memory.

And then secondly, since he is a student of the game (as you mentioned), I am hoping that while he is unable to physically work on his game, he will gain a fresh perspective on it and hone his skills by observing and learning things that he otherwise wouldn't have had time to invest in.

Let's find a way to gloat next year when this rings true! Glad to know there are like-minded folks here.

I wasn't sure what his mood would be in the home games. I knew he'd be there supporting his teammates as he couldn't fly to the away games with the team, but I thought he might be a bit down (I probably would be in the same spot). It's was awesome to see his enthusiasm out there for his teammates. It looks like Victor is also a superstar teammate as well as a player.

I'm sure it's given them a huge boost of confidence to play well. Probably not going to help the lottery odds, though . Hopefully the basketball gods take that into consideration and maybe give the Spurs some luck with the lottery balls.
The Lakers seem to come up with heists, so hopefully the Spurs can somehow come out with one in the draft to counteract that.

[pookenstein]

Part of me kinda hopes this is just the Spurs cleverly shutting down Victor for the tank. Really hope he is alright and health is always more important than basketball. I know he is a compe or and wants to play so praying for the best possible outcome.

Wemby has been playing non stop basketball since like July 2023 and a long break could be a benefit provided he fully recovers from the DVT. If he recovers and with his absence we get a top 4 pick out of a season we weren't doing with anyway I'd say that's a pretty nice pull out of the nosedive.

Even if the Spurs would do something like that, which I don't believe, they surely would have waited for Wemby to have played the 65 games necessary so he would be available to win DPOY and All NBA.

I wonder if Wemby has had a surgery to remove the blood clot ?

I wonder if Wemby has had a surgery to remove the blood clot ?

Not a doctor, but based on what I've seen other folks with Medical training say... surgery would not be the primary treatment for his condition. Start with blood thinners and let the body do it's thing. Surgery would be a more drastic form of treatment if thinners don't work.

I wonder if Wemby has had a surgery to remove the blood clot ?

not surgery per se, but depending on cir stances catheter directed thrombolytics can be utilized. Basically an IV is placed near the clot, and drugs that break up the clot are utilized. There are pluses and minuses.

Can we use that rib to clone a second Wemby?

That clone would utterly dominate the WNBA.

Looks like Wemby took the trip to Sac town.

[Mugen]

Good Guy Wemby tbh. Nice of him to show support for Fox. Hopefully the rest of the team plays hard tonight tbh.

[itzsoweezee]

The comments from Johnson are very reassuring: https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/...ck-deaaron-fox

[Joseph Kony]

Prior to returning home, Wembanyama had taken a brief trip to Wyoming to unwind, according to a source.

the ?

[Seventyniner]

I guess that's good news because it shows that flying isn't dangerous for him this soon after finding out about the clot.

Wemby loves outdoors and nature and stuff, he doesn't really seem too enthralled by the big city lifestyle. His comments about Las Vegas a couple years ago at summer league kind of shined a light on that side of him. Honestly, bodes well for us if there is a chance he isn't swayed by the glamour of LA or NY when it comes to free agency etc.

Wyoming is beautiful, too. Same goes for Oregon...just magical nature out there.

Had a blast hiking up Disappointment Peak last time I was out there (named as such because it looks like it would be a good path up to Grand Teton until you get up there and find there is no reasonable route up the Grand from there ). Really gotta go back and backpack around Paintbrush Divide and all though Gannett Peak would be my dream Wyoming trip. Too bad it requires a lot of glacier traversal and a very long approach being out in the middle of nowhere though.
