Damn hope he can recover, blood clots aren’t something to take lightly.

I feel like we typically see this in the bigger players. Also, seems to be occuring more frequently. I wonder if it's the more advanced medical detection or something environmental. Hope he recovers quickly.

Not sure they could fake the medical report although it wouldn't surprise me if you are right as it does coincide with their objectives.

Bosh had to retire because of clots. Hope Wemby and Lillard will be alright.
