Victor Wembanyama Ready to Make His Return to the Court
Spurs’ Star Victor Wembanyama Cleared for Action
As the San Antonio Spurs prepare for their upcoming training camp, Victor Wembanyama has been cleared to return to the court following a health scare earlier this year. The 21-year-old star, who missed the final 30 games last season due to a blood clot in his right collarbone, expressed his eagerness to play again. “I need to play basketball now,” Wembanyama shared during the Spurs media day. His offseason training ranged from Kung Fu sessions in China to intensive on-court drills in Los Angeles, making it a summer of unprecedented growth for the young athlete.
Recovery and Training: Wembanyama’s Unique Journey
Following a diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in February, Wembanyama embarked on a meticulous recovery plan, which included the use of blood thinners and a diverse training regimen. The French center believes his summer training has set a new standard, stating, “Even in professional sports, not many have trained the way we have this summer.” Wembanyama’s efforts have enhanced his conditioning, control, and overall physique, preparing him to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
Mitch Johnson on Wembanyama’s Progress
Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson, who took over the reins as head coach last May, praised Wembanyama’s dedication and readiness. “He’s been ramping up and is in a really good place,” Johnson noted. The anticipation for Wembanyama’s return is palpable, both within the team and among fans eager to see his evolution since last season.

Wembanyama’s performance last season showcased his ability to dominate on the court, particularly with a league-high in blocks and an impressive improvement in his 3-point shooting. His determination to advance his skills over the summer is expected to bring even more significant achievements as the new season unfolds.
Anticipation Builds for Spurs’ Upcoming Games
The Spurs’ training camp kicks off with eyes set on the preseason game against the Guangzhou Loong Lions on October 6. While Wembanyama eagerly anticipates his return, there are concerns regarding other players’ readiness.
