Phoenix — The good news for the Milwaukee Bucks after their 105-101 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Monday night was that coach Scott Skiles was doing fine.
Skiles, 45, had been taken to a local hospital before the game for precautionary purposes due to an irregular heartbeat.
"He's doing well, so he'll be joining us later on," assistant coach Jim Boylan said after the game. "He's got an arrhythmia. It just happens. There's no reason for it. No one knows the reasons why it happens. But it did and he's fine."
Boylan said that he knew that Skiles was having some trouble with the condition during the day and that he prepared himself just in case he would be taking over the coaching reins.
"It was pretty much a last-minute thing (before the game)," said Boylan. "He met with the doctors here in Phoenix and they advised him to go the hospital and get it taken care of. It was probably like five minutes before we were ready to walk out."
