NBA News from The Associated Press:
Chicago Bulls center Eddy Curry will miss the rest of the season because of an irregular heartbeat, a source close to Curry told The Associated Press on Thursday.
That includes the team's first playoff appearance since 1998, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The team called a news conference for later Thursday to discuss Curry's condition.
and from the SunTimes
''They found out during his examination with the first two set of doctors that there was something potentially serious with his heart,'' a source close to the situation told the Sun-Times. ''That's why they scheduled more exams by other specialists to make sure the problem was as severe as the early tests had suggested. Curry wanted to try to play with the problem and take medication since he felt he had already been playing with it for an undertermined time. But the doctors and Bulls did not want to take any chances with the [worst-case scenario] of Curry suffering a fatal heart attack.''
