Does anyone have enough Medical knowledge to know if he can ever come off of those?

A lot depends on genetics and history of clotting. (If this is the cause of him being out) My somewhat educated guess would be them pulling him off blood thinners for awhile to see if he clots again. This is dangerous within itself because cloys can kill. I’m sure he’ll have excellent doctors and specialist looking at his case though.

 

My guess, if he is on blood thinners because of clotting... he’ll stop taking them sometime in the next month or so. He’ll be off the blood thinners for around a week before he’s cleared for contact. He’ll be cleared for contact and resume a normal life. They’ll keep an eye on him and might even do some ultrasounds to check he’s not clotting again.

 

To keep this post somewhat on track, I wouldn’t be upset seeing Quinones and Hunter run on the wing together. However, I don’t think we land Quinones.

From what I have heard he can do everything but contact. Which would seem to indicate he’s still on blood thinners. 

Upside is his conditioning and knowledge of the offense will be there. 

knowledge of the offense, just like Jake. lol

Must of had a lot of people sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Quite a few medical experts in here. Especially since we don't even know what was wrong

Pretty sure the blood thinners thing was confirmed.

Again, we don't know with absolute certainty that he had a clotting issue and is on blood thinners, but our own Aloha has had the misfortune to deal with this problem so I'm pretty damn confident he knows what he's talking about.

Depends on whether it's a permanent condition or just a complication.   An example :  There is temporary condition when someone suffers from what's called a popliteal cyst...or Baker's cyst as a more common term.   Ice, elevation, compression, and temporary blood thinners are used to treat it.   It's common for people recovering from surgery to have these; and every patient who uses blood thinners to treat it eventually comes OFF of them.    But..someone with a heart condition which requires continued maintenance would stay on them for an extended period or perhaps for the rest of life.

I am fairly certain (90%) from what I have heard that it is indeed the above issue. Hopefully they can get him off the blood thinners and he stops clotting as has been mentioned. Would be a big help for next year.

Am I wrong that I heard compartment syndrome could have been the problem?

That or something similar that caused blood clotting issues

Which is better as far as the likelihood of him being able to continue his basketball career?

Regular CS would have been resolved by now I believe so there would have been some kind of complication which would leave a big ?  

The DVT theory would be expected to still be ongoing 

Cleveland Cljnic appears to specialize in both fwiw

It does seem, with the very limited information, that it’s more likely to be CS than DVT/PE. If he had surgery to remove a clot or insert stints he might never play again. Interesting to see how it pays out and hopefully he returns to a healthy lifestyle.

It's possible he had CS( common enough for athletes) which the surgery to fix could of caused a DVT or even the being immobile while healing from the surgery. 

Would explain why he has been out of commission for awhile
