Since being released from the hospital, Damar has been able to visit with his teammates.

After McDermott shared a press conference that Damar is at the team’s facility almost daily, Dion said, via CNN, “His appearance, like walking around here, it’s a positive thing, and [it's nice] to see Three [Damar's jersey number] just smile and just wave and just put his hearts up and keep it pushing.”

Dion also said that Damar is “a positive energy bubble that’s just floating around the facility.”
