According to Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra, former slam dunk champion Gerald Green “is safe and is healthy” after the 29-year-old ten-year veteran of the league collapsed unconscious without warning.
While the organization is remaining tight-lipped about Green’s condition, a little clarity has been offered up on the scenario thanks to the 911 call.
Via TMZ:
Miami Heat guard Gerald Green was unconscious and bleeding when someone at his condo complex called 911 … TMZ Sports has learned.
We obtained the call … made Wednesday morning … in which the caller tells 911, “I have a resident that just passed out. He’s bleeding. He just passed out right now.”
The operator informs the caller that help is on the way — and gives instructions on how to treat Green until emergency personnel arrives.
The nature of Green’s illness is still unclear — but as we previously reported, multiple people at the complex tell us they saw him acting strange in the lobby and screaming from the top of his lungs.
Once Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue arrived to the scene, they requested assistance because of a “combative patient” … so says the Miami Herald.
Eventually, Green was put in an ambulance and taken to a nearby hospital. No word on his current condition.
