    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Wolves coach Dwane Casey said the club was aware that rookie Randy Foye has a rare condition called situs inversus, which means the guard's major internal organs are on the opposite side from their normal body positions. But Casey said that after medical testing was performed at the pre-draft camp in Orlando this past summer, the Wolves determined it was no cause for concern. Foye's organs aren't negatively affected.

    "They're working properly, functioning properly," Casey said. "They're just flip-flopped."

    Foye said he was worried teams might shy away from drafting him. He was prepared to hold a news conference with a doctor who could vouch for his physical well-being, but that wasn't necessary once teams determined Foye's status.</div>

    So his stomach is on his right side? That's strange.
