I think it was in his underarm. Apparently he had some muscles that were too weak compared to others, and as a result some bones pinched a blood vessel causing it to clot. The doctors were really worried because of how close to his heart it was. He was able to fix it using specialized exercises to strengthen certain muscles, and it's not too much of a concern any more, but he wasn't able to play for the better part of a year.
