With Gregg Popovich's “mini -avc”, the Spurs had been struck, and the announcement of the package for the rest of the season of Victor Wembanyama was a second blow! Victim of a venous thrombosis at the shoulder level, the French will not replay the season, and the concern is in order when it comes to a blood problem.
“The medical experts and the people who are more competent than everyone here confirmed that he has finished it for this year but that there is no concern for the long -term health of Victor personally or what whether it is linked to its basketball activities ” replied Mitch Johnson. “There is no reason not to believe that it will not be ready for the start of next season.”
It was on the return from San Francisco that the Frenchman complained of bad sensations in the arm. “We directed it to our medical staff. Discussions started around Monday. They examined it, and that's where we are “ continues the young coach of San Antonio. “This is terrible news because each time the league loses a player of this magnitude, we lose a major player that fans and people like to look. »»
No question of rushing a return
For the moment, “Wemby” has not communicated on this announcement, which deprives him of the end of the season. Mitch Johnson spoke with him, but he was not by his side when the neo All-Star learned the bad news.
“Since I was not there, I can't talk about his reaction, but what I know is that Victor likes to play. We saw at the All-Star Game how much it was a competitor. He wants to be with his partners, and I know he wanted to the end of our goals this season, and I imagine how difficult for him. »»
One thing is certain, Victor Wembanyama will not seek to rush his return to the field.
“I expect it to be very thoughtful and very attentive to the process. He will not burn the stages, and he will behave as it should be ” concludes Mitch Johnson. “It's a little setback for a big comeback”.
