BATON ROUGE, Louisiana -- Southern starting point guard Christopher Hyder could miss the rest of the season because of a blood clot in his left shoulder.Hyder, a sophomore from Dallas, played through pain in the shoulder the past two games. When the pain didn’t subside in the wake of the Jaguars’ 60-36 victory against Jackson State on Monday, Hyder underwent more thorough testing, which revealed the blood clot.
Coach Roman Banks said Wednesday tha
t one of Hyder’s ribs “is pinching on an artery,” which led to the clot.
Hyder is taking blood-thinning medication to treat the clot and will undergo surgery in the next two or three weeks to relieve the pressure on the artery.
