Michigan State's Dantonio discharged from hospital

By AP

EAST LANSING, MI –
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio has been discharged from Sparrow Hospital again.

Dantonio was admitted Thursday with a blood clot in his leg and missed the Spartans' victory over Wisconsin on Saturday. It was his second straight missed game following a mild heart attack Sept. 19.

The school says Dantonio was released at noon Monday, meaning he was in the hospital longer for the blood clot than he was for the heart attack. No. 17 Michigan State plays at No. 18 Michigan this weekend in a matchup of unbeaten teams.

A routine postoperative exam revealed the blood clot, which is common after a variety of surgical procedures.
