Boone Not Down After Heart Scare

[DynastYWarrioR6]

Nets center Josh Boone hasn't let a health scare involving his heart get him down heading into the 2008-09 season.

Boone admitted that he was frightened Friday when he felt his heart beating very rapidly. He had tests that turned out to be inconclusive, and is scheduled to visit more doctors on Wednesday.

"I can tell you that right after it got over, I was fine and I've been fine since then. Something happened when I was on the court. I don't know exactly what at this point, but we'll see," Boone said Monday night. "We did an EKG (Friday) and we did an EKG today as well. All of them are normal."

He has no history of heart trouble.

This is all great news. I was relieved when I read one of the articles and Boone mentioned that [according to a doctor, I'm sure] many athletes experience a rapid heartbeat at some point and that, if you remain okay after a week or two, the probability of a serious problem becomes nil. I wouldn't be surprised if the Nets hold him out of the rest of the preseason as a precaution, but it sounds like he will play opening night.

Saw him last night and he looked to be in good spirits and in a rather spiffy suit. Poor Swift was hobbling around on crutches though.
