Hawks Announcer Bob Rathbun Suffered Scary Medical Emergency On-Air

People watching the Atlanta Hawks game last night witnessed a scary emergency situation, as Hawks announcer Bob Rathbun suffered a medical emergency while on-air.

While Dominique Wilkins was speaking, Rathbun started to convulse, while losing consciousness, which led to the broadcast abruptly being stopped, rightfully so.

The Hawks thankfully gave the ‘all clear’ later, when sharing that Rathbun was dehydrated, is stable and responsive, while undergoing further treatment:

“Prior to tonight’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, play-by-play announcer Bob Rathbun briefly lost consciousness on the court. Emergency medical professionals on-site quickly treated Rathbun for dehydration. He is stable, responsive and heading to Emory Midtown for further evaluation.”
