He could appear in only 46 games for the Spurs, but was expected by the front office to be ready ahead of the September training camp. However, Wemby recovered way ahead of it, and is set to return to the court.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Wemby told French reporter Maxime Aubin of L&rsquo;Equipe, <em>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m officially cleared to resume. It&rsquo;s fresh, I only got the approval from the Spurs medical staff a few hours ago.&rdquo; <\/em>The youngster added,<em> &ldquo;Phew, I&rsquo;m finally going to be able to play a little basketball again! My injury was an adventure, obviously, but the hardest part is over. I&rsquo;m much better today, physically and mentally.&rdquo;<\/em> Notably, in the 2024-25 season, Wembanyama averaged 24.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.8 blocks per game.&nbsp;<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">BREAKING: Spurs star Victor Wembanyama (deep vein thrombosis in the shoulder) says he has been fully cleared to play after missing the last third of the 2024\/25 NBA season &#128591; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aWr7JblsYL\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/aWr7JblsYL<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Basketball Forever (@bballforever_) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bballforever_\/status\/1944827285829509440?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>July 14, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><p>He took a total of 304 three-pointers in addition to blocking 176 shots, and became the only player other than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to finish a season with this stat line.&nbsp;<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Victor Wembanyama Reflects on his Injury Layoff&nbsp;<\/h2><p>The 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year reflected on his injury layoff and called it an experience that would help him in his future. Notably, during his recovery, Wemby took several trips and participated in a retreat at a Buddhist temple. Talking about his retreat, he was quoted by nypost as saying, <em>&ldquo;It was very hard. We discovered movements we had never done in our lives. It was more than 1,000 kicks a day, jumps, balance exercises, stretching.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/em><\/p><p>A favorite to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in the 2025-26 season, the Frenchman added,<em> &ldquo;I think my injury accelerated things.

I think it&rsquo;s an experience we&rsquo;ll benefit from in the future. For next season, I hope we qualify for the playoffs.&rdquo;<\/em> It is to be noted that when the Spurs shut Wembanyama&rsquo;s season, the Spurs were tallying 23-29.
