Four months after a blood clot ended his season early, Victor Wembanyama has been medically cleared to play basketball, per French outlet L'Équipe. The San Antonio Spurs star was shut down in February after being diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.
Wembanyama, who has not participated in basketball activities since the diagnosis, was seen on the sideline at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas on Friday. While he was there, the French center told L'Équipe's Maxime Aubin that he had been cleared by the Spurs earlier that day.
"I'm officially cleared to return. It just happened — I got the green light from the Spurs' medical staff just a few hours ago (last Friday). Phew, I'll finally be able to play a bit of basketball again!" Wembanyama said, via Aubin.
