Danny Ainge suffered a mild heart attack in Milwaukee on Tuesday night. He received immediate medical attention and is expected to make a full recovery. He will return to Boston shortly. Further updates will be provided as appropriate.
Yeah if he was blinded by rage during the 28-2 run, he's got plenty of company in the Celtics gamethread. Maybe we should check on some of our fellow posters...Scary stuff but I'd have a heart attack too the way the Celtics played in the second half. In all seriousness get well Danny.
Chris Mannix tweeted that this also happened 10 years ago.That sucks. Hasn't he had issues before?
Yeah that sounds familiarChris Mannix tweeted that this also happened 10 years ago.
I thought he did-around 2009-2010 I thought he had another "mild" heart attack.That sucks. Hasn't he had issues before?
yeah. it's a heart attack that happens to someone else.Is there really such a thing as a "mild" heart attack?
I thought this was Kyrie's status /that one dude in the Kyrie threadDay to day (Heart).
I had a minor heart attack last year. Like that word better.I thought he did-around 2009-2010 I thought he had another "mild" heart attack.
Thankfully, I havent had much experience with heart attacks in my family. Is there really such a thing as a "mild" heart attack?
My father had a mild one last year and I asked this same question. The doctor told us that the mild/massive term could be used to determine whether a smaller or larger artery is involved or whether there is complete or partial blockage of blood flow.I thought he did-around 2009-2010 I thought he had another "mild" heart attack.

This post has my respect and admiration.I thought this was Kyrie's status /that one dude in the Kyrie thread
I was at the opener in 1986. Ended up sitting near his family. Didn't know it til he wandered over before the second half, waved, and his blonde wife and a bunch of little blonde kids waved back. Time flies and 60 approaches.Jesus. Seems like not so long ago that I was at the Garden watching Ainge's pre-game warm-ups before his official debut (on 12-09-81), super-excited about what kind of a pro he might become.
Sigh. Take care of yourself, eat right, and get well soon, Danny!
We do know he'll be back on Wednesday.My father had a mild one last year and I asked this same question. The doctor told us that the mild/massive term could be used to determine whether a smaller or larger artery is involved or whether there is complete or partial blockage of blood flow.
In Celtics tradition we will never truly know the extent of Ainge’s actual version.
If this isn't his first "mild" heart attack, have to wonder if he will retire.Chris Mannix tweeted that this also happened 10 years ago.
If not retire, maybe take a more balanced approach to his job. Putting in long hours at a strenuous, high pressure job at age 60 after two heart attacks is foolish. Maybe it's time to groom a successor and move toward taking a role as a senior adviser.If this isn't his first "mild" heart attack, have to wonder if he will retire.
I think Zarren is that guy already. I've been wondering why he hasn't taken another job. It might make sense if he's unofficially been named the successor.If not retire, maybe take a more balanced approach to his job.

Stress is only one part of that equation. We old, chunky guys can lose weight and stay off the sodium and cut the risk dramatically as well. At least he doesn't have coffee, nicotine, and gak complicating things.If not retire, maybe take a more balanced approach to his job.
