Sam McKinnon maybe out for the year

He has been admitted to hospital with an irregular heart beat and while there they found a blood clot in his lungs.

Could mean a few games missed good mean never playiong again depeding on what they find.

Really sad. Sammy is a great guy and an amazing talent his peak.

Sending good vibes his way!

This is a damn shame and a big blow. I've been a big Sam fan including his mo-vember styles.

I was looking forward to watching him next Saturday.

We can only hope good comes for Sam.

What is it with Bballers and their irregular heart beats?

Makes me think of quiting the game to preserve my health.

I swear that song just played while I was reading this.

Obviously I hope SammyMac is okay and everything, but this could end up being a good thing for the Tigers if they use the points on a PG. They'd be disappointed that Kendall's gone.

Get well Sammy.

Great player all around, the tigers havent been as good with him though so this may help them gel a bit and have more balance in their offence. Still however hope the bloke gets better and gets another season.

He's been their clear leader in assists in a season where they've seemingly struggled with their starting PG arrangement. I guess they might start Crosswell now and then have to rely more often on Corletto to back him up. Alternatively, they can give Hoare more minutes and stick with the Barlow-PG experiment.

Not a whole heap of Australian PG options available to come into the team either with Kendall at the Cats and Martin in Sydney. For upper-tier players, that leaves Markovic and Ryan but they could be a bit of a gamble.

I'd appreciate it if you could decypher that quote for me. My brain's in overload.
Did the doctor have the blood clots, or was it his patient?
Some lingos sub an 8tch for a J, so was he hay mak'n man, or clutch'n at straws?
Or is j'mak'n man, a gay slur?
I need help. ; )

DDFan, I think the last line there could be the most accurate thing you've ever posted on this forum :)
