    Yeah, don't mess around with clots.

    Yeah, feels very cavalier for people to just presume that this is an invented condition for draft positioning. A 21-year-old with DVT feels like a pretty big deal.

    It's really unfortunate timing, if true. Post-All Star break is widely considered serious tanking time, and here we are about to play the first [regularly scheduled] game after the break. It makes you (me) wonder how closely the league looks into the truthfulness of medical claims.

    That's really the question here. Do they look, and do they even have the right to?

    it can be a very big deal because it can be a chronic condition. IIRC, the concern is even higher for athletes because DVT is usually caused by inactivity. If Wemby is creating clots at the same time he's playing basketball it might be difficult to control and an indicator of high risk

    this can not only life-threatening, it might potentially be career-ending. Those are extreme outcomes at this point, but the potenetial shouldn't be minimized or discounted

    was no dis on potential seriousness
    edit:
    A team source told ESPN that the Spurs are optimistic that Wembanyama will make a full recovery by the beginning of the 2025-26 season.

    They are already saying he will make a "full recovery". And, coincidentally, they will get a high lotto pick or two, depending on how ATL does.

    What do you met? Flagg’s already promised to the Mavs as a part of the Doncic to the Lakers deal. Note AD’s convenient “injury” immediately after joining the Mavs. I expect Kyrie to go down soon.

    Another thing- Wemby can no longer win DPOY. Does Toumani have a shot now? Who is his competition?

    Clingan, after he dominates the final 1/3 of the season.

    Why wasn’t he in the Rising Stars event? He would’ve dominated,

    In all seriousness though, JJJ and Evan Mobley are now presently the favorites for DPOY, followed by (according to BetMGM) Dyson Daniels and then 3 Thunder players (Dort, SGA, JW). None of the sites I've looked at even have Camara in the conversation.

    Whom do you think is most likely?

    I hope Wemby's okay. But man I don't trust anything the Spurs say.
