    Idk about that Spurs believe it's an isolate issue thing.
    What are they supposed to say? That he's going to retire?
    i mean you probably say nothing. he's out for the season, being evaluated, we'll provide updates along the way. but you wouldnt state one way or another its isolated or w/e unless you have reason to. or at least one shouldnt

    Overly tall players being injury prone and not having long careers gets proven right again. Might as well have drafted Amen Thompson tbh. At least he’ll have a long career.
    This is really what you went with, huh?

    It's hard to imagine them saying anything else.

    The fact that they (i.e., the Spurs) said anything seems pretty significant.

    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?

    Damn that is some scary stuff though from reading the posts it sounds like he can come back as good or better next year. I wonder if this was the reason he was always tired and not playing very well the last couple of games?

    As far as Spurs are concerned shut down Fox for hand surgery and as someone said let’s go capture the Flagg.

    caveat that he's a laker fun

    What do you think the spurs are lying that it’s not in his lungs or misdiagnosing him?

    Yeah this sounds exactly like Chris Bosch situation

    Difference is Wemby is only 20

    But him being ruled out for the aeason means this is a 10 out of 10 in seriousness

    this thread will reach over a hundred pages with the usual suspects claiming to know, not only everything there is to know about a thrombosis of the shoulder, but also Wemby's personal health. i guess it's just too hard to wait it out and abide by Occam's razor.

    It's just too dangerous and risky to try to do that when using blood thinners is perfectly safe and proven.

    Knowing the Spurs, they don’t rush to state anything unless they are sure. They could’ve said, “the medical staff are still evaluating, for now he will avoid any physical activities until it is safe for him to come back.”

    I’m optimistic

    i mean its possible his conditioning issues were legitimately allergy related and he was having a separate upper respiratory issue

    He will be given blood thinners and be followed to make sure it doesn't get worse. Can do percutaneous thrombectomy, but generally reserved for pulmonary emboli and not peripheral clots. Risk of him having bleeding issues with contact with medication

    Lower extremity veins have a larger diameter, meaning the clot can become larger and/or be freed more easily to travel to the lungs
    I have a friend with blood clots in his noticeably swollen left lower leg that literally cannot be gotten rid of.

    (He still kicks my ass every time we play golf. And he even surfs which I could never do.)

    Blood clotting is serious hence they are shutting him down period. 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

    Safest and least invasive. Surgery is a last a resort.
