Notre Dame guard Abby Prohaska out with blood clots in lungs

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame guard Abby Prohaska said she has blood clots in both lungs and is out indefinitely.

The 5-foot-10 sophomore announced on social media Monday she has been diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary embolism.

She played in 38 of the team's 39 games last season, averaged 14.4 minutes, and was expected to take a bigger role this year.

The No. 16 Irish have lost all five starters from the team that was beaten by Baylor in the national championship game.

Notre Dame opens its season at Fordham on Tuesday night.
