Wembanyama, the runaway favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year in his second season in the NBA and a first-time All-Star, will be out for the year as the team returns to action on Thursday night after trading for former All-Star De’Aaron Fox at the trade deadline. 

The 2023 No. 1 overall pick has become an All-NBA talent already, averaging 24 points, 11 rebounds, and nearly four assists to go with almost four blocks on 47% shooting from the field. 

In a crowded Western Conference, the Spurs were in the thick of the play-in tournament conversation, but its season is all but finished without its best player. The team was three-and-a-half games out of the play-in entering Thursday’s action with +550 odds to make the postseason, per FanDuel Sportsbook. Those odds are off the board now. 

The Spurs were a longshot to win the NBA title this season, +28000 ahead of the news, but that number has nearly doubled, now at +55000. 

Stay tuned for more on Wembanyama’s condition, but his second season has come to an abrupt end. 

For now, here are the updated postseason related odds for the Spurs.
