Expected to make a full recovery and possibly play by time of BE schedule.

Always scary to see someone that young with something like that. Glad they caught it in time and he's going to make a full recovery.

Maybe so, but it still has to be in the back of your mind. I have a close one currently ID'd with blood clots. It's at the point where "there's nothing more we can do, you'll probably be fine".

Wish nothing but the best for this kid. Same for Manny Bates, Butler's other new center who missed last season w/ a right shoulder dislocation.

Personally, the new duo of Bates/Thomas is light years better than Golden. Golden was solid offensively, but an awful defender.

Bates/Thomas play a simple offensive game, but are soooo much better defensively. I also like how Butler has two defensive anchors to pair around shooters Ali and Hunter, a scorer in Harris and a do-everything offensive player in Lukosius.

Get well soon.

Will probably be fine, may have to be on blood thinners for a few months which may be concerning for a contact sport athlete

Definitely not common for a college age kid to have a PE

That sucks for sure.

Doesn’t say but I wonder if this is a post Covid condition?

I had a few dvt in my leg in 2019 after surgery for crohns n one came back behind my knee this past May . So now on eliquis again but for good . Dr said that one clot never fully dissolved so easier for it to clot again I guess but the clots in chest must be super scary

Like my relative. Good luck. Somehow giving your comment a "like" seems wrong.

This I can understand and relate to. Just doesn't seem right to do so but consider this one to your posts

Scary stuff. Get well soon

The problem won't be the clots ... eventually. The problem will be playing while on blood thinners, which will be needed for 6 months. I'd be very cautious. Very. A simple elbow to the head, or a dive for a loose ball hitting your knee or head and you've got problems, potentially big ones.

Are there any fast-acting clotting agents that can be administered court-side in a situation like that? Besides direct pressure or a tourniquet, if site is a limb, how do you accelerate the clotting?

Yes for surface wounds but I think the Doc may be talking about internal bleeds

Ah, that would be tough. You may not even be aware that it’s happening, until it’s too late. Not a good condition to risk playing in!

Exactly. A concussion can turn into a major intracranial bleed. A bruised kidney and suddenly you might be down to one.
