The San Antonio Spurs today announced that Fabricio Oberto will miss the team's first two games of the 2008-09 season due to atrial fibrillation.
On Tuesday at practice Oberto alerted the Spurs training staff that he felt fluttering in his heart. After being seen by the team's medical staff he had an EKG which confirmed he was experiencing atrial fibrillation. Last night he underwent a cardioversion which restored his heart to its normal rhythm.
Over the next five days Oberto will receive daily EKG exams to confirm that his heart maintains its normal rhythm. Barring any unforeseen complications, he is expected to be available for the Spurs-Mavericks game on 11/4.
