Report: Ainge resting after heart attack

Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge has suffered a heart attack, WCVB in Boston reported.

Ainge was resting comfortably after being taken to the hospital early Thursday morning, the television station reported.

Ainge, 50, took over the Celtics in 2003. He helped the Celtics win a championship last season by bringing in Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. Ainge did not attend Wednesday night's Celtics game because he was feeling sick.

Ainge woke up Thursday morning with chest pains and was taken to the hospital. Doctors later inserted a stent to unclog an artery that was 100 percent clogged.

Ainge will be in the hospital for a few days and will probably miss attending the Celtics playoff opener against the Bulls on Saturday. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Most likely because Garnett is ruled out of playoffs, wish the best luck to him.

Poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, genetics, and stress are main factors. I picked up a patient last week who was having an anterolateralseptal MI...the big one. We got him to the cath lab and it showed the man had 3 coronary arteries blocked. Lucky bastard lived. I've never used so much morphine on a cardiac pt before

The bottom line on ESPN is so funny sounding. "KG out for playoffs" then "Ainge has heart attack" very serious things, I know but it just sounds funny, they should have mixed up the order, it sounds like KG gave Ainge a heart attack.

I think it had something to do with KG's injury, at some point it's reasonable to say KG's injury caused Ainge's disease.

KG's intensity went inside Ainge and told his arteries to clog up with intensity, no wonder they were clogged up 100% (intense clogging)

Notes: Celtics general manager Danny Ainge, who suffered a mild heart attack on Thursday, was not at the game. His absence was acknowledged by an announcement and a big cheer from the crowd in the first quarter. …
