Gerald Green was 'passed out', according to 911 call
Miami Heat guard Gerald Green had “passed out” and was “bleeding” at a condominium complex, according to a 911 call.
The caller said Green was breathing but unconscious as a 911 operator provided assistance and sent emergency personnel to the complex.
Green was hospitalized with an undisclosed illness, and in a statement, the Heat said, “Right now our concerns are with Gerald and we have no further comment at this time.”
At the Heat’s Thursday morning shootaround in Minneapolis, Coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters he is happy Green is OK but said that’s all the Heat will say.
Green did not travel with team for Thursday’s game at Minnesota.
In his first season with Miami after signing a one-year deal in July, Green is off to a fair start, shooting 41.2% on three-pointers but just 32.2% from the field while averaging 10.3 points in three games.
Last season, Heat forward Chris Bosh was hospitalized in February with a life-threatening pulmonary embolism and missed the remainder of the season. But he recovered and has shown no effects from the condition.
