Audin elaborated in a post on X that Wembanyama was relieved to get the news, saying, “I’m officially cleared to return. It just happened — I got the green light from the Spurs’ medical staff just a few hours ago (last Friday). Phew, I’ll finally be able to play a bit of basketball again!”
Wembanyama will look to return to full form after a season that ended prematurely due to the blood clot in his shoulder, while getting much needed help this offseason with high-energy draft picks and free agent signings in Luke Kornet and Kelly Olynyk.
