Oh dang... I hope he fully recovers!

Hoping for a full recovery.

Get well CJ. All the best.

Second time that has happened to him. Hope he recovers ok. Don't like to hear about cardiovascular problems. Scary.

 

[Whyachi]

dude is tough as nails, he'll be back in no time

Thanks to Neil CJ got the bag already. Sorry to hear this has happened again. Not a good thing to have recurring. Good thing is that when CJ can't play anymore he'll always have a cushy gig in the media with his journalism skills and experience. Hope he heals soon. I always liked the guy.

Missed 18 games in 2001 when he had the same injury.

especially given that it's the other lung

 

[riverman]

Apparently C J can not only dribble the air out of the ball he can dribble the air out of his lung as well!

 

[Mediocre Man]

CJ not only taking the air out of the offensive flow, but also his lung.

Hope he gets well soon. That sucks

Was he injured (either time)? Or was this just some freak shit?

CJ made a joke about the picture someone used when informing people of the injury.

70,000 people liked that. I'm sure CJ has a sense of humor.

I know when he had it when he was with us they thought it was due to a collision in a game. I think it was likely a freak thing the first time but according to a few reputable medical sources, mayo clinic being one of them, once you have a collapsed lung you are more susceptible to that same lung collapsing in the future.

We all are hoping for the best for CJ. I liked all of the posts in this thread, just to support CJ.

 

[Phatguysrule]

Get well soon CJ!

I had a spontaneous pneumothorax at 17. The fact that it happened to him twice is an obvious bad sign.

 

[HansenYang]

Lol. Guess CJ is in good spirits.

Hooe he gets well soon

 

[maxiep]

I couldn't imagine. I hope he recovers well. I'll always be a CJ fan.

He was 10 in 2001. There were 18 games to miss in 5th grade ball?
