Shams: Wemby OUT for the Remainder of the Season

[baseline bum]

Still disturbing if the GG Jackson hit was the cause, because hits like that aren't uncommon. Guys are getting hard knees, elbows, forearms, and body blows all career long. Even if you can prevent him from diving on the court, there's still enough reckless or dirty players that he'll have to deal with multiple times a season

You just know Draymond is already planning on how to hit Wemby in the shoulders

Nah Draymond loves Wemby. If this was Gobert with a DVT then he'd be going after it.

Wasn’t Ingram’s clot also in his shoulder?

Looks like it was right shoulder for him too

RFK gets confirmed and then this happens

Didn't know you could get a blood clot from an injury. TIL, crazy stuff

it's basically when your vein gets jammed between 2 bones. That would require surgery though.

You know Quasimodo predicted all this

I take a laundry list of blood thinners daily for my heart. Are these the same category of thinners or are there different ones for what Wemby has?

I have to laugh at this, but it is true. I remember Draymond was floored when Wemby gave him an autograph last year after a game and has spoken highly of him since then.

Wow...what a terrible situation for Victor and Spurs fans. 5 years of wallowing in the trash heap and it finally looks like we might be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel and this happens. Brutal...

[itzsoweezee]

Yeah, he's just trying to stir up. Just go look at the thread he started on the NBA forum to see what his intetions are. Don't fall for the passive/agressive bull , tbh.

Ok, that makes the most sense. Everywhere else I’m looking online seems to suggest a very positive outcome in the long run

[Spurs Homer]

Doomsday excites him. His kink is chaos.

Let me simplify:

He is a russia loving piece of .

[Trainwreck2100]

I was assuming this was unrelated to his illness from 2 or 3 weeks ago (after the Paris games), but some of you are thinking it was related?

From the flight back

[thiste]

First thoughts are with Victor and his family & friends, I hope all goes well and he gets through it in the best way possible.

That sucks man...

Now in terms of basketball, it's sucks as well...

Honestly I think it's also time for De'Aaron to have surgery on his fingers now.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Thrombosis is a blood clot. They are saying it's in his shoulder. If that's right, it's almost certainly the subclavian vein. And, yes, that is potentially deadly. More of a problem than in some other places. No, it's not from him "being giant". Thrombosis in the subclavian is less common than most locations, and it could be injury related. But there is a subclavian vein variety that is more common for athletes, and is use-related. Rate the chances it's in his shooting shoulder? Pretty high. (There is another situation where the vein basically gets pinched, and I can't remember if they still call it thrombosis, but I think not.)

They give blood thinners. You don't play contact sports while on heavy blood thinners. The real worry is the clot coming loose and reaching the heart/lungs. There is also a chance of the vein itself being damaged by the blockage. Can he come back? Sure. But this condition, in this location, is one that gets IMMEDIATE attention, once discovered.

I'd be surprised if you've made lead bagboy at the local Whole Foods let alone ER doctor tbh

He's jumping at the opportunity to troll the noobs who don't know anything about his post history. If he's a doctor I'm a nuclear scientist

[Sugus]

.

I'm most crushed for Victor, man. What the ?

He's 21, and was playing in his first ever All-Star Game last week, sharing a court with the NBA's biggest stars. He was there.

Now this'll hang over his head as a looming threat for the rest of his career, however long it turns out to be. Just unfair.

He's gotta be in the gutters man....

[Manu20]

Well that sucks at least the news coming down is that is not life threatening or career ending injury. Hopefully we get some lucky bounces come lottery time and get a top 4 pick.

[Trainwreck2100]

Very fair point tbh...I just think what it would require for this to work out is this is a one off injury. As I said I don't have his medical info but you tell me a dude in his 20's has a thrombi in his shoulder I'm telling you the dudes career is all but over. That's something that 99% of ER doctors would agree with. For context an ER doctor would only make the preliminary diagnosis...like someone comes in for shoulder discomfort or shortness of breath and you make the diagnosis. Then they are transferred to another department. that's a case that goes to surgery/internal medicine/radiology in other words beyond my expertise.

I suppose the accurate criticism would be I'm only an ER doctor and this is beyond my expertise but a thrombi in the shoulder is very bad news. Hope I am wrong as the guy is very fun to watch. Even Lakersground loves Wemby

The difference between one blood clot and 2 blood clots is a lifetime of blood thinners

PG - Fox
SG - Castle
SF - Vassell
PF - Flagg
C - Wembanyama

Bench: Sochan, Johnson, Atlanta 2025 pick (McNeeley?)

the fact - that this is some kind of dream lineup - and vassell appears on it is depressing as ...

And Keldon still coming off the bench

[twodeep]

WTF man. ing terrible news.

Someone mentioned Chris Bosh? Is this the same thing Bosh had? What year was Bosh diagnosed with what he had. Is this fixable? What's the general cause of it?

I hope we don't get this secretive Spurs and be left in the dark. Did the other Spurs players know about this, or are they all just finding out about it now. De'Aaron didn't look down or anything in his interview I watched earlier today.

Remember everyone before going on a panic attack Chris Bosh was having blood clouts in his Lungs. Wembey is basically the same issue Brandon Ingram went through

[Pero]

Damn, just saw this in the news, ing sucks. I hope it's treatable.

[Ice009]

Man, I'd rather be the Mavericks right now (not the trade part) and he have AD's injury instead. I hope Victor's isn't life or career threatening and he makes a full recovery. More so for himself than anyone else.
