Chris Bosh Trending Following LaMarcus Aldridge’s Sudden Retirement News

NBA forward LaMarcus Aldridge just announced his retirement from the NBA after experiencing an irregular heartbeat during the Brooklyn Nets’ loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. Aldridge had played just five games with the Nets after being bought out by the San Antonio Spurs to pursue a championship in Brooklyn. He issued this statement after his surprising announcement.

“My last game, I played while dealing with an irregular heartbeat. Later on that night, my rhythm got even worse which really worried me even more. The next morning, I told the team what was going on and they were great getting me to the hospital and getting me checked out.

Though I’m better now, what I felt with my heart that night was still one of the scariest things I’ve experienced.

With that being said, I’ve made the difficult decision to retire from the NBA. For 15 years, I’ve put basketball first, and now, it is time to put my health and family first.”

Following his announcement, Chris Bosh began trending on Twitter.

It’s never fun to watch a player be forced to retire due to health complications.

Aldridge had a great career, as did Bosh. Of course you’d like to see them go out on their own terms. . .
