Victor Wembanyama is one of the faces of the NBA, the star of the San Antonio Spurs and already one of the biggest names in basketball. And his season is likely over, after the Spurs announced Thursday that he has been diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder.

The team said Wembanyama has a deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, which was discovered when he returned to San Antonio after Sunday's All-Star game in San Francisco. A thrombosis is a form of a blood clot that blocks blood flow.
