Michael Wilbon Has a Minor Heart Attack, Angioplasty

Michael WilbonMichael Wilbon, the beloved Washington Post sports columnist and co-host of ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, had a minor heart attack early Monday morning. Absent from Monday's PTI, Tony Kornheiser announced Wilbon wasn't feeling well and had been experiencing some minor chest pains (he was replaced by ESPN analyst J.A. Adande).

Wilbon's wife drove him to a hospital in Scottsdale, AZ, where a minor blockage was found. A successful angioplasty cleared the blockage.

MSNBC and Sporting News reported Wilbon may have been released from the hospital as early as yesterday, but there's been no confirmation. Our thoughts and well-wishes go out to him and his family as he goes through a hopefully speedy recovery.
