Phoenix Suns forward Channing Frye will be sidelined for an indefinite period of time, according to a press release issued by the team Thursday.

Frye has developed a dilated cardiomyopathy, an enlarged heart. The issue was discovered during Frye's preseason physical. The former Arizona Wildcat will be re-evaluated in December.

"Nothing is more important to us than the health and well-being of our players," said Suns President of Basketball Operations Lon Babby. "Channing and his family have the full support of our organization. His health is our primary concern and we are committed to helping him in any way he needs."

The Suns will hold a press conference with Frye, Babby and team cardiologist Dr. Tim Byrne.

The team is scheduled to open training camp October 1 in La Jolla, California.

    Very Unfortunate, But...
    As sad as this is to hear about, I would be more concerned about his future and health going forward. Basketball is not your life, just your job. I agree with the previous comment.

    Great they ffound this early
    It's a blessing that this was discovered early before it's too late. I agree with these comments. God is looking out for you. Get well soon. If you can return, great, but basketball is just secondary when it comes to real life.
