Yikes! Serena Williams is recovering in Los Angeles today after emergency treatment for a blood clot in her lungs.
The tennis champ’s rep, Nicole Chabot, told People magazine that Serena had undergone treatment Monday for a condition which may or may not have been related to her continued foot problems:
“Monday Serena Williams underwent emergency treatment at Cedars for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation,” the rep says in an exclusive statement.
“Last week, Serena suffered from a pulmonary embolism [a blood clot in the lungs] which was discovered upon her return to L.A. She had been in New York for doctor appointments for the ongoing issues with her foot.”
The rep added, “Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications.”
The powerhouse athlete was just spotted partying it up at Elton John’s AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party and Vanity Fair’s Oscars party this past Sunday, Feb. 27. Get well soon, Serena!
