    One thing in common the "outliers" have with Dame is age.

    The 4 others were/are young in their careers.

    It's probably a little bit of a gamble. The old guys have more to risk.

    could be the case. Maybe he crossed some dangerous line at 34.8 years old

    on the other hand, if Dame, shortly after this recent injury, has had his first clot in 17 seasons of college and NBA basketball, it may be he's not prone to generating clots.

    in either case, he really needs to weigh his options. He'd get paid the balance of his contract (112.5M) if he medically retires. And the Bucks would get cap, tax, and apron relief

    That is some very thorough information on blood clots in the NBA. Great job @SlyPokerDog

    I had a cousin who died from this at age 37. Was having pain didn’t want to go to doctor that night because couldn’t afford it. Her husband said he was taking her in as she bent down to tie her shoes she died. Horrible because the kids were sitting there with her trying to convince her to go to hospital.

    On side note I’m making the call Giannis will ask for a trade this summer. This team is no where close to being title contenders even with healthy Dame.

    That's horrible. Sorry that happened.

    Blood clots are a serious thing. I had to put down a cat I had who started getting blood clots when they were about 12. The vet said even if they fixed that clot, it would happen again and again and again.

    Sounds like Dame is cleared. Hoping it was a one time thing and he is cleared to continue his career. Fingers crossed.

    I could really use some Dame Time during these playoffs!
