Wembanyama’s participation in the soccer match was particularly notable given his recent health challenges.

In February 2025, he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right shoulder.

The condition involving a blood clot that forced the Spurs to shut him down for the remainder of the 2024-2025 NBA regular season.

It is unclear if Wembanyama will be available for the EuroBasket but is expected to return ahead of the 2025/26 regular season.
