Breaking: Charles Barkley Sends Strong Message to Victor Wembanyama
Unfortunate news struck the San Antonio Spurs and the NBA world on Thursday when 21-year-old superstar Victor Wembanyama was declared out for the season due to deep vein thrombosis (a blood clot) in his right shoulder.
This news came as a shock, especially considering Wembanyama had just participated in his first-ever NBA All-Star Weekend, competing in both the Skills Competition and the All-Star Game. Now, just a few days later, he’ll miss the final 25 games of the season as the Spurs try to remain competitive without him.
Despite the setback, the primary concern remains Wembanyama’s health. On Thursday night, NBA legend and TNT analyst Charles Barkley shared strong advice for the young star. Barkley suggested that Wembanyama reach out to Hall of Famer Chris Bosh, whose career was cut short due to blood clots.
“The first phone call I would make is to Chris Bosh,” Barkley said. “Because he’s someone who’s been through it. Anytime I had some sort of major injury, I would reach out to him and ask about the rehab and what that experience was like. That’d be my first call.”
