The Spurs phenom suffered a season-ending injury. A physician explains what deep vein thrombosis is, its causes and treatment, and Wembanyama's likely prognosis.

Wembanyama's clot was discovered, according to The Athletic's Sam Amick, because Wembanyama had experienced low energy throughout All-Star Weekend and the days that followed. Blood clots are rare in the NBA, but they do happen, and the outcomes for players who get them can vary wildly.
