My father recently had a grade 3 ankle sprain. it hasn't gotten better. now he has little yellow bruises up and down both legs. sign of blood clot?

Likely not.: You intimate the "yellow bruises" are on both legs. Although possible, the likelihood of bilateral blood clots is not high, plus he only sprained one ankle.
