Sir Creep 7,070 Posted February 21, 2015 Of course the Chris Bosh blood clot matters are big news for those who follow the NBA, but hadn't seen it posted so updating. SC "The issue of blood clots — a very serious matter — is particularly serious in NBA circles right now, with Bosh’s situation coming just days following the death of former NBA player Jerome Kersey. Doctors said Kersey’s cause of death was related to a clot traveling from one of his legs to one of his lungs. And last month, Brooklyn forward Mirza Teletovic was ruled out for the season once clots were found on his lungs." http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20150220/wire/150229975 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
