When senior post player Marlon Dumont, 25, started his collegiate basketball career, he spent more time in the hospital than he did on the court where he longed to be.
Dumont suffered from a blood clot in his left arm that eventually resulted in the removal of one of his ribs. He still currently endures side effects from the blood clot.
“I had to get my rib removed because my shoulder bone and first rib were pinching my vein,” Dumont said. “The blood clot is still there, but it’s not as bad.”
