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.

Pretty sure the blood thinners thing was confirmed. 

He may be on a NOAC.

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.

At this point Hunter will surprise me if he ever plays.  Do we know yet if he is even going to be allowed to play?  The Jerome Hunter story is possibly the worst of all of the bad IU basketball news stories of last year imo.

I 100% believe based on what I know he'll play.   What he had (or so I've been told) is a complication, not a condition.  I've been in medical sales for over 20 years, but never in that exact field.  Have tickled it and been exposed to it just enough to believe he's ultimately going to be just fine.  I'd bet on him playing; and I believe he'll be ready for the start of next season.

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

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

Yeah, compartment syndrome is a whole different thing than DVTs.

That might explain why he went to a specialty clinic to have surgery.

Compartment syndrome is a bit of an odd phenomenon.

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 

[HoosierAloha]

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

Quite possible but, most likely, there would be a reason besides just immobility post surgery. He could have Factor V Leiden, Lupus Anticoagulation (from medicine?), or something else that would cause him to clot while recovery from the surgery.

The blood clots of deep vein thrombosis can be caused by anything that prevents your blood from circulating or clotting normally, such as injury to a vein, surgery, certain medications and limited movement.

i can't get the font change and I'm just exhausted at fighting this website so I'm leaving it.  That's from mayo. If he had surgery for CS any one of those could be the culprit.
