<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls say they have received "terrific news" about center Eddy Curry, who was sidelined during the season because of an irregular heartbeat. The statement from general manager John Paxson on Thursday did not give specifics or details, but said Dr. David Cannom's "positive report is terrific news for Eddy." Paxson did not return calls for comment from The Associated Press. The 22-year-old Curry missed the final 13 games of the regular season and the playoffs after experiencing an irregular heartbeat, and his status is a key issue for the Bulls this summer. "Our goal has not changed from day one and that is to ensure Eddy's long-term health as our number one priority," Paxson said in the statement. Cannom, director of cardiology at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles, concluded Curry's condition is not life-threatening after reviewing pictures of his heart and test results last week, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday, citing anonymous sources. Curry's agent, Leon Rose, did not return calls to the AP. Curry is a restricted free agent, meaning the Bulls can match any offer he receives on the open market.</div> Source
Hopefully this signals a good sign in the return of Curry to Chi-town next season. He did everything the team asked him to do. Went through all the tests, lost weight, got in a shape, etc. With the new collective bargening agreeement it should hopefully make it easier to get a deal done. Not only for him, but for Chandler and possibly Duhon as well.
good news for bulls fans. Curry is a big help to the Bulls and gives them someone to go to down in the post.
