The good news is that Rivers was healthy enough to suit up to play Tuesday night against the Clippers. After getting out of the hospital, he logged four points in 30 minutes in the loss.
Obviously, this sounds like it was an incredibly serious situation. Whenever you end up in the hospital, things have gone very wrong.
Allergic reactions are not something you want to mess around with at all. If they get bad enough, you could die or get insanely sick.
