    It doesn't look like he went into convulsion, just collapsed. Maybe he had a different type of seizure. I don't think it was epileptic.

    Either way, I hope he feels better.

    Very scary moment... i really thought when they showed him laying on the ground and you could only see his feet that it was serious. Started to think about Hank Gathers... get well soon Rodney.

    Glad to hear he is doing ok, never like to see a thing like this... we had a kid die in a local game where I live once so its always a worry to see something like this. Good to see the Cavs show some maturity for once as well.

    Have to say I bet the 2008 incident is related and this is ultimately a heart issue -- started some sort of very irregular beat.

    If that's true, they should be able to really diagnose him and treat it well. Not sure what it means for basketball future though.

    That was weird last night you could see quite a bit of panic in the eyes of the people treating him. It's really strange not to wake up for so long after having a seizure.

    Scary. When you see someone who, in terms of physical health, is in the top .01% of people, get struck down like that, it really reminds you that life is fragile.

    Unbelievably scary. I assume he'll be OK now and hope he only returns to basketball if it's safe. Otherwise, his rookie contract should take care of him for life.

    It's hard to say what caused the siezure, for someone his age you got to be really concerned about a tumor. Also sometimes you can't get IV access on these folks because they will be violently seizing so you give it per rectum, he didn't look to be in status though.

    What was up with Prince during this? Either he was so distressed he couldn't get near Stuckey or he didn't give two ****s...

    epilepsy doesn't always result in convulsions...at least the early stages don't

    My cousin's had epilepsy for about 10 years. For whoever asked, it's caused by a malformation in the brain. It has nothing to do with the heart.

    Yea my sister has epilepsy and she didn't have convulsions until she was about 14 and they say she's had it all her life. She now takes medicine every day so thank goodness she hasn't had one in like 10 years.

    I do know there is different type of seizures. I have a cousin who would get seizures where his eyes would roll back and he would just stand there for about a minute. It's scary to witness any kind of seizure.

    Well, my theory is out the window according to that tweet from Woj.

    I guess it's good news, but now it's more mysterious, neurological I guess (?)

    Yikes, I hope they give the kid some sort of diagnosis.
