If the Basketball Gods love anything more than the sport, it’s sabotaging a good season. Well, they pick their favorite ones from the pool of the best, and this time it’s the French Alien. San Antonio Spurs fans, this is your cue to panic, Victor Wembanyama is in a serious medical condition. And guess who broke the news? Of course Shams Charania.

ESPN’s senior NBA insider dropped the concerning bomb that will leave the Spurs franchise, Wemby, and the fans heartbroken. Charania’s first tweet said: “San Antonio Spurs All-Star Victor Wembanyama is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a deep vein thrombosis in right shoulder.” This is enough to make everyone on the team burst into tears. After all, their 21-year-old alien will not be on the floor anymore.

Meanwhile, curious fans wanted to know what went wrong. What has happened to their favorite Victor Wembanyama? Well, Charania didn’t keep the die-hards waiting for too long as his next tweet explained everything. “Victor Wembanyama has a form of a blood clot in the right shoulder. He is out for the season. The Spurs believe this is an isolated condition,” the insider informed the audience.

Thus, Wembanyama wraps up his season with 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 3.8 blocks, and 1.1 steals, positioning himself as a top Defensive Player of the Year candidate. Meanwhile, the Spurs will likely rotate Sandro Mamukelashvili, Jeremy Sochan, and Charles Bassey (knee) at center or explore a free-agent addition.

But for the fans, Wemby’s condition is a matter of concern. This could be a career-threatening condition. Therefore, prayer circles have opened up on social media for their dear alien.

Spurs fans express fear and prayers for Victor Wembanyama’s health condition

“This is so scary, man. wtf,” commented one of the fans under Shams Charania’s tweet. It is scary, especially when Victor Wembanyama performed so well for the Spurs. He even got De’Aaron Fox as his latest support in the lineup. But fate surely didn’t like things moving smoothly, thus this setback.

Meanwhile, some fans are bringing back the disheartening memories of Chris Bosh. The 2x NBA champ and Miami Heat legend’s career ended with this blood clotting condition. So, the Spurs fandom fear for Wemby. What if this deep vein thrombosis turns out to be the first symptom of his career walking towards Doom’s Day?

Another fan commented: “For those who dont know this is potentially a career-ending injury.” Well, we’ve already seen what happened with Chris Bosh, and now Victor Wembanyama is also facing the same injury. Therefore, concerns, and major ones, are only natural. And while it remains unclear what might be the reason for this blood clot, as some assume it might have been due to some vaccine, tension grows among the fans.

Fans have already opened prayer circles for Victor Wembanyama. One of them wrote: “Damn. I hope he has a speedy recovery!” The 2024 NBA Rookie of The Year has all the best wishes and prayers of his supporters. And it’s surely not just about the game. A young talent, generational talent like Wemby who could potentially become the face of the league in the future, needs his minutes on the court. Such injuries are simply hurdles and it would surely hurt if his career ends just like that.

Meanwhile, someone drew an odd comparison with LeBron James. They commented: “Year 2 and Wemby already with a major injury. And LeBron is in year 22 without ever suffering a major injury. We will never see another LeBron James.” If you observe closely, this stat isn’t incorrect. LeBron James is facing injury woes now, but for the last 22 seasons, he’s been rock solid, even Steph Curry. But well, for Victor Wembanyama the Basketball Gods have other plans for sure.

Lastly, a Spurs supporter dropped the perfect GIF reaction to express the pain:

The clouds of doubt thicken around the alien’s career and the Spurs’ future for the rest of the season. This isn’t a favorable situation, to say the least. But then, nothing much can be done, right? Now, we have to wait for further updates from the franchise as they tread through the rough terrains and difficult times.
