A vascular surgeon reached out after hearing me talk about Hurts' situation on the podcast.
Posting his comments here for what it's worth:
“Small superficial clot, below the knee, I would let him play. Put on a stocking, stay hydrated, walk around the plane every hour. But, too many unknowns. Did this happen to him before? Did it happen to a parent, a sibling? If yes, changes things, I would be much more concerned.
I always ask myself. . . should this patient have a clot? Broken bone, in a cast. . .yes, a clot can happen. Young, healthy, active, uninjured- shouldn't have a clot.
Now he has progressed to an embolus. In my opinion, he should not have developed emboli from a cleat injury unless he has an underlying clotting disorder. These can be tricky to diagnose if there is no family or personal history. Like Chris Bosh, I'm concerned for his career.”

@JLStudebaker@RationalGMENFan Also a lot of the stuff they wanted to run schematically was dependent on Dart being healthy and once he went down the stuff they could run became very vanilla and basic
@MONTECRI5TO Doesn’t help that dart being out for the year took out like 1/2 of the things they wanted to do scheme wise running the ball, which is part of why JJ is here
