i feel like G league they get a good enough physical to dx that. Id put my money on

Anomalous Coronary Artery (ACA)
Yeah, I can’t imagine something like an enlarged heart not being discovered in a G League physical. A league associated with the NBA probably has top notch medical practices in place. It was probably something similar to the undetectable heart defect that killed Davide Astori that played for Fiorentina.

Sad. You can be in great health and get routine physicals, and still have things that go undetected. All you can do is just enjoy the days you have.
That shyt is terrifying. You can be born with a heart condition and by getting into athletics you're speeding up your death without even knowing it...and then one day your body just gives you the:camby:

They stopped it pretty quick, as soon as the ref noticed he was on his stomach and not moving. It wasn't a situation like when Melo was laying on the ground for three possessions.

RIP to the breh, wonder what happened.

I need to see this :mjlol::russ:


Is there a thread for it?


In all seriousness though.. RIP to the guy.

Seeing this reminds me of that Larry Bird article on ESPN about height and heart ailments :sadcam:


Scary stuff

Yeah there's been plenty of threads on it over the years. I won't link in here out of respect, just Google it.

On topic, isn't an enlarged heart something doctors would discover over years of physicals and evaluations?
