Some of the league’s biggest stars have the latest news, including injuries to Victor Wembanyama, Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic.
Victor Wembanyama
In a blow against the Spurs, late-star Wemby is expected to be eliminated for the rest of the season as the team announced a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder (a form of blood clots) – He found out about the Star Weekend in San Francisco when he returned from All-all.
Sources told ESPN’s Shams Charania: “Wembanyama has recently started feeling symptomatic but thinks he will feel better after two days after the All-Star game. When the symptoms persist, Wembanyama conducted a series of tests showing the clots. ”
ESPN said the team is optimistic that Wembanyama will fully recover at the start of the 2025-26 season.
Wemby’s teammate Chris Paul knew Wembanyama would have a hard time sitting on the sidelines for so long.
“It’s tough,” Spurs point guard Chris Paul said. “I think we all know how much he means to our team, but we know more about what he means to the game and what he likes to play.”
Anthony Davis
The team announced that Davis would miss at least two weeks due to fatigue in the left adductor muscle.
This is the first official update since Davis’s injury diagnosis, and the Mavericks say he is “making good progress” and will be reevaluated within two weeks.
Since Davis hurt himself in his first game against Dallas, many insiders have been saying he will miss a lot of time. This may be due to the premature abdominal strain suffered by the Mavericks who brought him back with the Lakers, some physical therapists and fans who claimed by X.
If he was to be reevaluated within two weeks, it would be at least seven games that he would miss. He must compete in 65 games to qualify for the season-end award, meaning he may not be eligible for 43 games.
Luka Doncic
The team announced that the Lakers will exclude Doncic in Thursday night’s game against the Trail Blazers.
It was part of his recovery from a calf injury that caused him to stop acting in 24 games.
However, according to Marc Stein, the team is happy with the progress Luka has made and expects he will be able to play back-to-back games soon.
