Tom Orsborn @tom_orsborn
The Spurs immediately rallied around each other after learning they would be without Wemby the rest of the season.
“You keep things in perspective as far as life and what it means. But when the game comes around … we got a job to do,” Chris Paul said.

Spurs star Victor Wembanyama recently felt symptomatic and hoped he would feel better when he took downtime after Sunday’s All-Star game. Reporting with @malika_andrews for NBA Today on what led to tests in last 24-48 hours and the latest on the 21-year-old’s status: pic.x.com/WCyeEjW7ZC – 3:14 PM

These are the defenders who are making the biggest impact on defense according to Synergy Player Impact. It’s not quite a “who should be DPOY” list because it incorporates data from previous seasons, but that only makes it *MORE* impressive that Wembanyama was sitting at no. 1 😔 pic.x.com/YdnXiLGY6G – 2:50 PM

With Wemby on the floor: allowed 110.0 points per 100 possessions (would rank 6th among NBA teams)

When asked about the Victor Wembanyama news after practice today, Erik Spoelstra called it “horrible” but didn’t want to elaborate because he had just heard about it. pic.x.com/Q2iYlD47VD – 1:22 PM

Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama out for the remainder of the season with deep vein thrombosis in his shoulder
This is a serious issue but one Brandon Ingram bounced back from. Wemby will not be eligible for DPOY or All-NBA now, he has played 46 games.

David Hardisty @clutchfans
Wemby missing the rest of the season does not seem like great draft news for the Rockets.
1. Spurs were just a game back in the loss column of the Suns (Rockets control Phoenix’s pick)
2. Spurs likely tank from here and improve their draft slot/future – 1:13 PM

Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42
Because of the season ending injury, Victor Wembanyama will not be eligible for postseason honors.
Wembanyama was a leading candidate for Defensive Player of the Year honors. – 1:11 PM

Sam Amick @sam_amick
Per source, to @TheAthletic, Victor Wembanyama had experienced low energy lately that was causing concern.
When he still had low energy at All-Star weekend, and through his two-day vacation after it, the tests began that ultimately uncovered the deep vein thrombosis. The Spurs – 1:11 PM

Re: Victor Wembanyama: A deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a clot that develops in one of the major veins of the body, usually in the lower extremity. Brandon Ingram also developed a DVT in his shoulder, missing the final 19 games of the 2018-19 season. – 12:54 PM

With Victor Wembanyama being ruled out for the rest of the season after being the heavy, heavy favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year, Evan Mobley might become the odds-on favorite for the award. – 12:50 PM
