Oberto Hospitalized with Heart Problem

[Tigole Bitties]

Schoening mentioned he was experiencing some chest pains stemmed from the Mavs game last Sunday and is under observation.

Fucking Josh Howard.

[SAtown]

He's in the hospital? Get well soon Oberto

[T Park]

Chest pains?

Whoa, he was on the bench the other day in Memphis...

[TMTTRIO]

Bill said he had a little hear arrythmia probably due from him getting hit in the carotid artery in the neck or throat. They did a procedure on him and are going to continue to watch it for a few days. I hope he gets well soon. Poor guy

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

ohhhhhhhh no... it'd be a shame if Oberto was to miss the playoffs

[romsho]

I'm assuming it was the same play where he was called for a foul- Josh Howard, knees to the chest? Not a good day for the officiating crew.

[picnroll]

One of Joey's last blown calls.

[T Park]

Hmmm.

The way hes played lately could you put Butler out there?

man....

[Quiet Strength]

I just heard on tv that a spur is in the hospital because of heart problems.. anyone know who?

[LilMissSPURfect]

berto

[T Park]

Oberto is supposedly having heart problems stemming from the knees to the chest from Josh Howard :flipoff

[angel_luv]

Oh my gosh- that's scary! Feel better Oberto!

[LilMissSPURfect]

C'mon BERTO ! Get Well Soon!

[mavsfan1000]

Spurs better off going with Elson or small. Oberto is worthless.

:rolleyes

[carina_gino20]

i was also wondering why he was listed as DNP - Dnd in the boxscore. what's Dnd? does anyone have more word about his condition?

[E20]

On Yahoo.com, it says DNP - Dnd for Oberto, while Tim, Manu, and Tony say DNP - Coach's Decision.

What does Dnd mean?

Another classy Mavs fan. :rolleyes

[Lakerhater1]

He's actually a very savvy player.

...yeah he's worthless.

NBA Championship, World Championship, Olympic Gold medal.

What Mavs have any real accomplishments? Loser in NBA finals?

...oh yeah, AJ...Spurs Champion 99.

[T Park]

DNP = Did not play.

[picnroll]

Dirk
kNeed the
Dude?
No. Howard leap into and kneed him. Crawford called the foul on Oberto. It was immediately after tossing Duncan. Joey just wanted to prove that his stupidity wasn't an accident.

[T Park]

Oberto hasn't wont an NBA Championship...

YET... :smokin

[Lakerhater1]

Oberto hasn't wont an NBA Championship...

EXACTLY!!!

[Fernando TD21]

What does Dnd mean?
Doing nothing duhh or maybe dying now duhh.
I hope he gets well soon.

[exstatic]

Thanks again, Joey, for calling that a foul on Oberto. :flipoff

[T Park]

Did not play - Did not dress.

[xfycox]

Thats horrible I hope he gets better...I think the Mavs poisioned him!!

[baseline bum]

DND probably means "Did Not Dress"... ie, was in street clothes. Hopefully it's nothing serious with Fabri.

[SpursFanFirst]

I hope he'll be okay! That's scary!

[tah]

i hope he's okay

[Carie]

Was he even at the game? Granted, I had bad seats, but didn't see his hair anywhere.

[Budkin]

Get well soon Bert.

[John Patrick]

know he wont contribute much to the title hopes, but its still bad to hear him go through this.

[Kori Ellis]

I understand that he went to the hospital and had to be put under for some tests for heart arrhythmia. They have to keep an eye on him, but he could be cleared to play by the next game.

[John Patrick]

what if it was.......bum bum bum.......tony....and then Vaughn got injured...and we got stuck with beno...


Dr. Timothy Theodore Duncan checked out his pulse and diagnosed that yes, Oberto was having a weird pace of heart.

[Kori Ellis]

Here's the press release:

SAN ANTONIO – Earlier today Fabricio Oberto felt abnormal sensations in his chest. After seeing a cardiologist it was determined to be a heart arrhythmia which is believed to have been caused by minor trauma to the chest (which occurred in the Spurs-Mavericks game on Sunday).

This evening Oberto underwent a procedure which restored his heart to its normal rhythm. He is in stable condition and returned home after the procedure.

His condition will be monitored for the next few days. Barring unforeseen complications, Oberto will be cleared to play in Game 1 of the Spurs-Nuggets playoff series.

Oberto Has Heart Arrhythmia

Press Release -
Earlier Wednesday, Fabricio Oberto felt abnormal sensations in his chest. After seeing a cardiologist it was determined to be a heart arrhythmia which is believed to have been caused by minor trauma to the chest (which occurred in the Spurs-Mavericks game on Sunday).

This evening Oberto underwent a procedure which restored his heart to its normal rhythm. He is in stable condition and returned home after the procedure.

His condition will be monitored for the next few days. Barring unforeseen complications, Oberto will be cleared to play in Game 1 of the Spurs-Nuggets playoff series.

Oberto arrhythmia (http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/45708/20070418/oberto_has_heart_arrhythmia/)

Sounds like they got the electrophysiologist in there to shock his heart.

[timvp]

Outside Duncan, Oberto is probably the bigman I trust the most going into the playoffs. Elson has had an up and down season and had perhaps the worst playoffs of any player in any season in NBA history last year. Horry is playoff proven, but hasn't shot well enough. Bonner doesn't play enough defense. Butler and Ely don't have enough minutes as Spurs to put them on the floor in the playoffs.

Oberto knows how to win big must-win games and his peaks this season (for example, game versus PHX) were higher than any other bigman.

Get well soon. The Spurs will need him.

[timvp]

The procedure sounds similar to the one LaMarcus Aldridge underwent. Aldridge was cleared for basketball contact with a day or two, but the Blazers held him out for the rest of the season.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

the last thing we need this late in the season is an injury

ugh

[boutons_]

"underwent a procedure"

to be defined.

Next time, Fabri, be more careful when you foul Howard! :lol

[picnroll]

Aldredge had/has Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a potential very serious condition where there are aberrant conduction fibers. Chances are he had ablation of those fibers and that will put you out for a while.

Oberto doesn't have that. More likely he had some atrial arrythmia, may have had cardioversion (shock) to restore the normal heart beat.

[angel_luv]

Thanks for the update Kori. I'll pray Oberto makes a speedy recovery. :)

[Cara De Dedão]

The only thing Oberto has going for him is his first name.

[CubanMustGo]

Godspeed and get better, Fabri.

WAD-CD

Wore A Dress - Coach's Decision

As opposed to what all the Blazers will have on their boxscores:

MPA-LT - Missed Playoffs Again - Lousy Team

[timvp]

Aldredge had/has Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a potential very serious condition where there are aberrant conduction fibers. Chances are he had ablation of those fibers and that will put you out for a while.

Supposedly he was good to go in a couple days. If they were in playoff contention, they say he would have missed one game at most.

Hopefully Oberto can get back on the practice court by Friday because the Spurs are going to need him.

[boutons_]

yeah, when do you stop resting Fabri?

He did nothing today, and probably nothing tomorrow.

At 31, don't want him inactive too long, lose conditioning.

[T Park]

Especially since they will need someone to combat the likes of Nene, Camby, and gulp, Evans :(

[SequSpur]

atrial flutter.

[adrienne]

Too bad, and scary.:( Sounds like he's going to be alright, hope his recovery is quick.

[ducks]

this fucking sucks

i'm really looking forward to meet the Mavs with Oberto/Elson tandem guarding Dirk.

get well soon Fabri! :angel

[JustSpurs]

Hope you get well soon, Fab.

[Marhq]

Manu just posted on his forum. He said Fabri is ok, got a little scared at first, but there's nothing to worry about. He also said that what caused this was not the hit by Howard, but some other play.

Saludos.

Good so all the hate on Howard's trying to get around the pick play is over hopefully.

[milkyway21]

well, acc to SI Oberto is doing well after all.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/nba/teams/spurs/
San Antonio Spurs center Fabricio Oberto on Wednesday underwent a procedure that returned his heart to a normal rhythm after feeling abnormal sensations in his chest, the team announced.

He is in stable condition and was able to return home after the procedure. The Spurs expect him to be available in Game One of the team's first-round playoff series vs. Denver this weekend. "He had a procedure (Wednesday) and went home. We're going to check his heart rate and rhythm for the next couple of days," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "If everything stays under control, it looks good that he might be able to practice on Saturday."

:angel

Get well soon Fab. :)

Wow...I didn't think there was any possible way he'd he back for the playoffs.

Was there any indication what contact caused the problem? I hope it wasn't that play where JHo jumped into him on the screen and drew the foul.

[George Gervin's Afro]

does anyone know how to get a clip of the josh howard knee to the chest oberto foul?

I wonder if it was actually something in practice because the Dallas game was three days before.

[exstatic]

Good so all the hate on Howard's trying to go through Oberto is over hopefully.
Fixed it for you. There was never an attempt to go around, homer.

Bill said he had a little hear arrythmia probably due from him getting hit in the carotid artery in the neck or throat.

CRAWFORD DID NOT CALL THAT FOUL IT WAS THE OTHER REF.

FREAKING HOWARD CAME IN WITH A KNEE TO THE NUTS AND FOREARM SHIVER TO THE THROAT AND OBERTO GET'S CALLED FOR THE FOUL :pctoss

Fucking Josh Howard.

"This evening Oberto underwent a procedure which restored his heart to its normal rhythm. He is in stable condition and returned home after the procedure."

Dont worry, he might be cleared to play in the playoffs. Hooray for Oberto!!!

[nkdlunch]

I hope Fab gets 100% soon. we will need him as soon as round 1

[duncanchick21]

:toast Oberto Get Well Soon, We are going to need you!!!!

[milkyway21]

"This evening Oberto underwent a procedure which restored his heart to its normal rhythm. He is in stable condition and returned home after the procedure."

Dont worry, he might be cleared to play in the playoffs. Hooray for Oberto!!!i don't really think Oberto will be available soon enough to play in the 1st round, IMO-based on the "procedure" he went through. I don't know but, this is a heart problem we're talking about.

But there's Butler and he showed us i the last couple of games he can help this team if Oberto's not ready yet.

[T Park]

prayers to fabricio.

As much as we bag on you, you are like family.

Be well. If you have to miss the playoffs, miss the playoffs.

You have a beautifull wife, and precious daughter at home that is far more important than a stupid series with the Nuggets.

Prayers to you Fabi, and get back when its SAFE, not quickly.

I'm thinking the same. I'm disappointed if he'll miss the playoffs but hey there's nice guy.

Take your time Fabri :angel

we're praying for your speedy 100% recovery.

[dallasmavsnfuego214]

I think the Mavs poisioned him!!

Sacramento Room Service forum

how did Howard injure him? was it the time where he tried to jump through the pick?

[Kori Ellis]

I think Manu said it wasn't the Howard play but some other play in the Dallas game where he took a shot to the throat/neck area.

[T Park]

Pop said the same thing today on the pop show.

It was not that play. he got hit in the neck and apparently in the neck there are some receptors that affect the heart.

He said he reported uneasyness, shortness of breath, just didn't feel good.

[Otaku]

Get better soon Fabri :D

[cheguevara]

nice sig ^


what's the word on Oberto?

I am guessing he will not play round 1. too soon + Denver is high altitude and heart has to work harder. save him for either 2nd round or game 5 round 1

my sentiments exactly. Denver is a tuff place to play for ppl who DONT have any problems. so if he plays i doubt it will be too many mins.... but i think the smart thing to do is save him for round 2.
