The Spurs are signaling optimism, with a team source telling The Athletic that Wembanyama is expected to be fully healthy and ready at the start of training camp in October. Per the team source, Wembanyama had been experiencing low energy in recent weeks, which initially caused concern.

San Antonio dealt Zach Collins at the trade deadline before losing Charles Bassey for a few weeks, which left them sparse at the center position. Victor Wembanyama's season-ending deep vein thrombosis diagnosis only worsened its state, leaving Biyombo as the primary center.

Victor Wembanyama is one of the faces of the NBA, the star of the San Antonio Spurs and already one of the biggest names in basketball around the world.
