Clippers’ Rebraca headed for heart procedure

The procedure is designed to help prevent a recurrence of the symptoms of an irregular heartbeat.

Rebraca is expected to miss at least one month of action after he was admitted to Centinela Hospital and diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat at the end of the Clippers 103-100 win over the Toronto Raptors on November 23.

Dr. Fred Morady of the University of Michigan Hospital will perform the procedure for the second time in Rebraca’s career. On August 7, 2003, Rebraca had the procedure done when he missed 50 games for the Detroit Pistons during the 2002-2003 season because of a recurring irregular heartbeat.

On the season, the seven-foot Rebraca is averaging 4.6 points per game with 2.4 rebounds. In 197 career games, he has averages of 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds per contest.
