     Never like to see it happen to a guy, even if you’re not a fan of them. 

    This is from nba.coms report

    The Phoenix Suns today announced that forward Channing Frye will be sidelined indefinitely for medical reasons. Frye has developed a dilated cardiomyopathy, an enlarged heart. The condition was discovered during a screening echocardiogram conducted as part of a routine preseason physical by Suns team cardiologist Dr. Tim Byrne.

    Frye will be followed closely by his team of medical specialists. He will not participate in basketball activities and will be re-evaluated in December.

    “Nothing is more important to us than the health and well-being of our players,” said Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby. “Channing and his family have the full support of our organization. His health is our primary concern and we are committed to helping him in any way he needs.”

    A St. Mary’s High School product who grew up in the Phoenix area and attended the University of Arizona, Frye originally signed to play for his hometown team on July 14, 2009. His time with the Suns has been the most productive of his career; in three seasons with Phoenix, Frye has averaged 11.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.00 blocks in 222 games, after joining the Suns with career averages of 8.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 0.47 blocks in 278 games with the Portland Trail Blazers and New York Knicks, who selected him eighth overall in 2005. Frye has averaged double-digit scoring in three consecutive years with the Suns after doing so once in his first four seasons, but scoring is just one facet of his game that has grown immensely in the desert. Frye has set a single-season career high in double-doubles in three consecutive seasons and has averaged a career best in blocks in three-straight campaigns.

    Dilated cardiomyopathy is a condition in which the heart becomes weakened and enlarged. As a result, the heart cannot pump enough blood to the rest of the body.

    For anyone who might have been looking to know more bout the condition and what Frye will be dealing with-http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001221/

     If there’s any silver lining, he has access to the best doctors in the world. Hopefully he ends up fine.

    He had a very good rookie year with the Knicks..Alot of teams were trying to get him..I thought he was going to be a star..But he regressed,and started to spend too much time on the perimeter shooting 3s…

    I’m happy this was caught in time and wish him him the best….
