8:53pm: Gilbert is awake, responsive and resting comfortably after a catheter-based procedure for a stroke, per a team release relayed in a tweet by Marc Stein of The New York Times.
8:58am: Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert was admitted to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital in Michigan early on Sunday after suffering symptoms of a stroke, according to a report from Nolan Finley and Kim Kozlowski of The Detroit News.
Gilbert’s family requested privacy, so details on his diagnosis and prognosis weren’t made available. However, a statement issued by the Quicken Loans group on Sunday indicated that Gilbert is on his way to making a recovery.
“He received immediate medical attention and is currently recovering comfortably,” the statement indicated. “Our collective thoughts and prayers are with Dan for a speedy recovery.”
Gilbert has been the Cavaliers’ majority owner since 2005, overseeing most of LeBron James‘ two stints with the franchise. Under Gilbert, the Cavs have made the NBA Finals five times and won their first title in 2016. The club invested especially heavily in its roster during the 2015-18 run of four straight Finals appearances, with Gilbert footing significant tax bills.
Prayers to Dan.
Ditto
Hug and kiss your wife and kids everyday… Tomorrow is promised to no one.
And your side chick
Get well soon Dan.
I’m sure his son was there for good luck
when you run a ponzi scam to putt ppl into financial crisis it’s hard to feel bad for that person
No it’s not. You just have to be human. But, since I’m sure you’re without fault….
Ponzi schemes are illegal. Gilbert operates corporately and transparently not to mention philanthropically. Gilbert/Quicken was not a part of the 2008 meltdown but has had to compete in its shadow, with increased oversight.
More ignorance from @guest617.
