Holy shit, I never heard about this! So glad Cliffy is on the mend. People, it's not macho to ignore health problems. And they don't go away. I'd bet if his car was making grinding sounds he would have taken it to a mechanic but ignored his own body's warning signs.
Good to hear he's on the road to recovery. Gave us a lot of good basketball, sans the worst turnover in the history of the franchise.
