Fox’s Injury Timeline and Impact on the Spurs

Fox sustained the injury during training camp in October while still playing for the Sacramento Kings.

High-Point Game with Spurs: 32-Point Performance

Victor Wembanyama’s Injury Adds to Spurs’ Woes

In another blow to the Spurs, Victor Wembanyama, the highly touted center and No. 1 pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, was also sidelined for the 2024-25 season. Wembanyama was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right shoulder, which was discovered after he returned from the All-Star Game. This condition, typically treated with blood-thinning medication, prevented Wembanyama from playing basketball, as it restricted participation in contact sports like the NBA.
