Detroit — George Blaha, the longtime voice of the Detroit Pistons, will undergo a heart-bypass procedure Tuesday, which will sideline him for the remainder of the season, the team announced Sunday.
According to the Pistons, doctors diagnosed Blaha's condition during a check-up completed last week. Blaha is anticipated to have a full recovery.
“I am disappointed to miss the remainder of the season, but my health is the number one priority right now, and I have a great team of doctors guiding my short-term and long-term health,” Blaha said in a statement. “I’m grateful that they caught my issue early and they expect a full recovery.
