    Second time that has happened to him. Hope he recovers ok. Don't like to hear about cardiovascular problems. Scary.

    Thanks to Neil CJ got the bag already. Sorry to hear this has happened again. Not a good thing to have recurring. Good thing is that when CJ can't play anymore he'll always have a cushy gig in the media with his journalism skills and experience. Hope he heals soon. I always liked the guy.

    Apparently C J can not only dribble the air out of the ball he can dribble the air out of his lung as well!

    CJ not only taking the air out of the offensive flow, but also his lung.

    Hope he gets well soon. That sucks

    Making a bad joke on something that is not funny -- classless comment but nothing from some of you surprises me anymore

    BTW -- looking at you River and you Wiz since you liked the post -- what a joke this forum as become

    CJ made a joke about the picture someone used when informing people of the injury.

    70,000 people liked that. I'm sure CJ has a sense of humor.

    I know when he had it when he was with us they thought it was due to a collision in a game. I think it was likely a freak thing the first time but according to a few reputable medical sources, mayo clinic being one of them, once you have a collapsed lung you are more susceptible to that same lung collapsing in the future.

    We all are hoping for the best for CJ. I liked all of the posts in this thread, just to support CJ.
