Summary
Chris Bosh said a pulmonary embolism earlier this year left him hospitalized for a week and nearly cost him his life, prompting him to speak publicly about blood-clot risks.
Bosh urged Victor Wembanyama to stick strictly to his medication regimen, saying recurrent clots ended Bosh's own career after a second episode.
Wembanyama's 2024-25 season was cut short by a blood clot, but the Spurs still signed the 22-year-old to a five-year, $252 million maximum rookie extension after the 2026 Finals.
Bosh was first hospitalized with a lung clot in 2015, continued to have clotting issues in 2016, and officially retired in 2017 after failing physicals with Miami.
