Victor Wembanyama's offseason is now in full swing, and as he continues to recover from deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, it seems he hasn't let any time go to waste.

While on vacation in Costa Rica, the San Antonio Spurs star was seen putting shots up at La Fortuna Sports Complex in San Carlos in a T-shirt and what appeared to be swim trunks.

Wembanyama earned 54.1 percent of the 138 votes cast, which put him ahead of Anthony Edwards, who finished second in the category with only 13.8 percent. Other names included Oklahoma City Thunder Most Valuable Player candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Boston Celtics frontman Jayson Tatum, and new Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Dončić.

Perhaps Wembanyama is on his way to such a title, especially if he spends his vacation time on a basketball court.
