Tennis champion Serena Williams has been hospitalized in L.A. with a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in the lungs. She suffered the health scare Monday.
Williams looked stunning at Sunday's Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy AwardsViewing Party just hours before the unexpected condition surfaced.
Serena had been spotted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. several times over the past week regarding the conditioned, but it worsened this week.
"Serena Williams underwent emergency treatment at Cedars for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation," her rep says.
"Last week, Serena suffered from a pulmonary embolism [a blood clot in the lungs] which was discovered upon her return to L.A.," the star's rep adds.
"She had been in New York for ongoing issues with her foot. Doctors continue to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications."
Here's wishing Serena a fast, speedy recovery.
