Colorado Buffs head coach Deion Sanders is once again dealing with medical issues and has his girlfriend, Karrueche Tran, standing by his side.
Over the weekend, Sanders revealed that he believed he had blood clots because he was feeling throbbing pain in one of his legs.
“I think I got more blood clots,” Sanders said after the Buffs’ game vs TCU. “Cat’s out of the bag, all right. I think I got more blood clots. It don’t make sense. I’m hurting like crazy. I got a doctor’s appointment on Monday to see what time it is. So that’s what’s going on. I’m not getting blood to my leg, that’s why my leg is throbbing.”
“I’m sorry to get that out, but thank you for noticing.”
Sanders would eventually have to undergo his 16th surgery in the last three years due to his recent medical complications. In a video posted on Deion Sanders Jr.’s channel, Tran was seen taking care of the Buffs’ head coach while at the hospital.

This isn’t the first time Tran has helped Sanders with his health issues. Earlier this year, people found out about Tran’s relationship with Sanders after she was featured in a video supporting him while he was dealing with bladder cancer.
