Victor Wembanyama, the towering star of the San Antonio Spurs, recently showcased his recovery from deep vein thrombosis during a vacation in Costa Rica. Engaging with local children, Wembanyama played soccer, exhibiting impressive agility and footwork for a 7-foot-3 player. This casual outing comes after a challenging season where he made his first All-Star team and was a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, but his season ended prematurely due to a shoulder blood clot that required surgery.

Wembanyama has expressed optimism about his recovery, stating that he is able to engage in controlled strength and basketball training. As the Spurs face another postseason absence, fans are hopeful for his return next season. Interestingly, Wembanyama has a history with soccer, having played as a child, which may explain his natural prowess on the field. His off-court interests, including chess, further highlight his multifaceted personality.
