The Spurs are coming off a dominant win over the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, led by young guard Devin Vassell with a 37-point outburst. Even without Wembanyama, the Spurs have enough talent to steal some wins down the stretch, especially with their new veteran backcourt.

After the San Antonio Spurs released the brutal news of Victor Wembanyama to the public, their 2024-25 season seemed doomed. While worrying about Wembanyama's health is understandable, prematurely labeling the Spurs' 2024-25 campaign finished is disrespectful to Chris Paul. Paul's successful NBA history could save the Spurs season.

San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024-25 NBA season after being diagnosed with a blood clot in his right shoulder.

The Spurs are signaling optimism, with a team source telling The Athletic that Wembanyama is expected to be fully healthy and ready at the start of training camp in October. Per the team source, Wembanyama had been experiencing low energy in recent weeks, which initially caused concern.

A well-known sports injury doctor explains that the Spurs' extensive mileage is likely not to blame for Wembanyama’s newly discovered condition.
