Bally Sports Southeast issued a statement Monday night providing an update on veteran Hawks play-by-play man Bob Rathbun after he appeared to have a medical emergency prior to the Hawks-Thunder game in Atlanta.
“Prior to tonight’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, play-by-play announcer Bob Rathbun briefly lost consciousness on the court,” the statement began. “Emergency medical professionals on-site quickly treated Rathbun for dehydration. He is stable, responsive and heading to Emory Midtown for further evaluation.”
The frightening scene took place on air during the pregame show in a segment featuring Rathbun and color analyst and NBA Hall of Famer Dominique Wilkins.
