CelebnSports247.com reports Bob Rathbun, the team’s play-by-play announcer, suffered a frightening medical emergency while on air — and needed to be rushed to the hospital.
It was a terrifying scene ahead of the Atlanta Hawks game on Monday night.
Rathbun was previewing the Hawks’ game against the Thunder for Bally Sports with Dominique Wilkins … when he suddenly appeared to lose consciousness in his chair, and convulse uncontrollably.
Bally Sports officials say Bob Rathbun’s tests have all come back “very favorable” — and he’s “in great spirits.” They added he’s expected to be released from the hospital later Tuesday afternoon.
Bob’s health is of the utmost concern to Bally Sports and the Atlanta Hawks and he will return to the broadcast booth only after he is well rested and fully recovered.
Thankfully, however, the 68-year-old is now said to be doing better … and is in “stable” condition.
Get well soon sir.
