During the second intermission, de la Rose was diagnosed with having an accelerated heart beat and was sent to hospital “for precautionary reasons.We hope everything is fine. He’ll spend the night here, go home and see a specialist and make sure everything is good. We want to be extra cautious with it.

The Detroit Free Press is reporting that Assistant athletic trainer Russ Baumann will stay with de la Rose while team moves onto their next game in  St. Louis, where they play Thursday.

This is not the first time that de la Rose has experienced an accelerated heartbeat. It was last fall when his heat started to race and had trouble getting it to slow down. de la Rose was medical cleared play soon after. Lets hope the outcome of this incident is the same!
