PORTLAND, Ore. (Oct. 23, 2013) - Portland guard Wesley Matthews experienced an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) today during practice.

Matthews underwent an electrical cardioversion procedure this afternoon and his heartbeat has returned to normal.

He did not travel with the team to Oakland and is out for tomorrow night's preseason game at Golden State and is listed day-to-day.

smh. This is what they referred to when they said "ill?"

Are you kidding me?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

He never had problems like this with the old training staff.

 

[Darkwebs]

Damn, that means our expected starting line-up for the 2013-14 regular season of Dame-Wes-Nic-LMA-Lopez was never used in pre-season. What a shame.

 

[SheedSoNasty]

Fucking unbelievable how many injuries and freak ailments this team has had to withstand in the last six years. It being Wes makes me think we're cursed.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

How serious is this? Channing Frye/Jeff Green serious?

And three of them have had heart problems or alleged heart problems.

Sounds more like lamarcus Aldridge. Not serious.

 

[THE HCP]

Scary shit.

Sounds more like lamarcus Aldridge. Not serious.

Speaking of LA, any update on him?

I'm a huge Wes fan so this pre-season has been a little painful for me as I watch Wes struggle and then hear this scary news.

@wessywes2 @ChrisBHaynes The first time you foul a L*ker with an energy beam I'll donate to your favorite charity.

You have to get rid of that egg.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I don't understand, though...what 140x80 pixel image really represents me? I mean, by using the egg I can do the passive-aggressive "I'm not giving in to The Man by making myself dance to his stupid 'one pic that represents you' b.s." I can say "I don't believe in that, but they make me have something, so I'll just go with default. Eff the Man, save the Empire!"

On facebook everyone kept yelling at me to change the gray box at the top, so eventually my wife just posted a picture of my kids. That's ok for facebook, I guess...but ain't nobody got time for that on twitter. I mean, if I looked like you or Wookie then I'd totally post a picture of myself and gain massive street cred. Or maybe I should borrow Kass' old one.

LOL superheros aren't real!

 

[StumptownHoliday]

Heartstopping news.

 

[Carlito]

Well this now means Barton and Crabbe are our starting SGs?!

 

[BrianFromWA]

Or Wright/Batum, or Williams.

 

[Draco]

Glad its taken care of. If he's day to day its a tiny procedure that is not a concern at all.

 

[BBert]

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone question Wesley Matthews' heart.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone question Wesley Matthews' heart.

ZING! Hopefully Crabbey patty isn't shitting his bowels out and plays the next game. Loved what he showed in the few games he played.

 

[BBert]

Guess we should have kept Singler!

 

[magnifier661]

Well this now means Barton and Crabbe are our starting SGs?!

I would hope that Stotts slides Batum at SG and start Wright at 3 until Wes comes back. He will most likely start Mo though.

 

[THE HCP]

I would think Mo would start. Him and Dame have played well together this preseason.

 

[magnifier661]

I would think Mo would start. Him and Dame have played well together this preseason.

But don't you think that Stotts would rather Mo come off the bench? He needs bench scoring.

 

[THE HCP]

True. Slide Nic over and we'd be fine.

 

[magnifier661]

True. Slide Nic over and we'd be fine.

Yeah cause I think Claver could play back-up 3. Also, I bet Batum will be in at 3 during crunch time with Mo anyway.
