Knick guard Cuttino Mobley has met with a heart specialist in Minneapolis - the same one which teammate Eddy Curry refused to visit during his dispute with the Chicago Bulls which resulted in the sign and trade to New York, the New York Post is reporting.
One source said Mobley has mulled taking a medical retirement, depending on the results of the series of heart tests. However because this was a preexisting condition it is unclear if he has the standard insurance stipulations in his contract.
"It's a tough call," the source said. "I'm pretty sure (he) doesn't want to take chances if it's really that serious. It's a tough situation. The most important thing is him and his health."
Whether or not he can continue to play, hopefully he'll be alright and we won't see another untimely passing as we did with Pete Maravich, Reggie Lewis and Kevin Duckworth (to name a few). Considering he's had the condition since he came into the league, perhaps it won't turn out to be as serious as currently feared.
