Sanders has already has lost two toes to amputation on that foot, continues to experience significant problems with blood flow to his left foot. One of the many YouTube channels following Coach Prime around, captured a meeting with his medical team, where they discussed the issue.
Vascular surgeon Donald Jacobs warned Sanders that the issues could cascade and then said to Colorado athletic trainer Lauren Askevold that losing the foot was a possibility. According to the video, Sanders is losing blood pressure and flow in the lower part of his leg.
Sanders is entering his much anticipated first season in Boulder. He has made jokes about his health issues in the past and opened up about them. But sadly it seems as though his problems have taken a turn for the worse.
