Tencent Sports News, June 21 (Wen/ESPN News Network) Knight boss Dan Gilbert has been discharged from hospital. Last month, he was hospitalized due to a sudden stroke. It is revealed that Gilbert will go to a rehabilitation center for further treatment.
On the morning of May 27, Gilbert suffered from stroke. Accompanied by friends, he was admitted to a local hospital in Detroit, where he received emergency treatment and relieved his symptoms.
Now Gilbert has been discharged from the hospital. Jay Farner, CEO of Fast Loan Company, said in a statement that Gilbert would continue to complete follow-up rehabilitation treatment in a rehabilitation center after leaving the hospital.
"Dan (Gilbert) will continue to complete the rehabilitation plan next, and he hopes to consolidate the progress of the past few weeks and continue to complete the recovery," Farna said in a statement.
Gilbert, 57, bought the Cavaliers in 2005 and became the owner of the team. In 2007, LeBron James led the team to the finals, but the Spurs swept him. In the summer of 2010, LeBron left the Cavaliers, which once made Gilbert extremely upset. After that, the Cavaliers missed the playoffs for four consecutive years.
In 2014, James announced his return, and the Cavaliers became one of the most competitive teams in the league again. They entered the NBA finals for four consecutive years, and won the first championship in the history of the team by reversing the 73 victories of the Warriors in the 2016 finals.
In 2005, Gilbert bought the Cavaliers for 375 million dollars. According to the Forbes team value list in February this year, the current market value of the Cavaliers is 1.275 billion dollars.
After LeBron left last year, the Cavaliers entered the reconstruction stage. At this year's draft conference, they had the fifth place. The team will select a young talent to focus on training, so that he and Sexton can explore the future together.
