Chuck Hayes fails physical

[DJT]

SACRAMENTO, CALIF., Dec. 19, 2011 -- This morning, in one of the most heartbreaking moments of my professional or personal life, Chuck Hayes was notified that he failed his physical exam with the Sacramento Kings. Subsequent to that, the contract signed on December 9th has been voided. At Chuck’s request, we will have no further comment at this time.

Dang this is a huge blow to the Kings. He was a nice pickup.

Now I see them turning to Humphries or Dalembert.

Chuck Hayes has been cleared to play after the Kings voided his four-year, $21 million contract because of concerns about his heart, according to his agents.

The Sacramento Bee reported on Thursday that Hayes had been diagnosed with Pericarditis, inflammation of the sac that surrounds the heart. But Hayes sought further testing at the renowned Cleveland Clinic and underwent "a full day of exhaustive testing and exams" on Wednesday, according to a statement released by BDA Sports.

On Thursday morning, a group of specialists headed by Dr. Steven E. Nissen determined that Hayes "does not have a heart problem."

"Their recommendation is that he can continue to play professional basketball without any concerns," the statement read.

"I have to see what teams are interested still. It’s back to the drawing board, block one, lets go on this merry-go-round," said Hayes to Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports.

Sadly that's really the only way to get a free agent to make a trip Cleveland.

That was a statement from Petrie...

I see him re-signing with the Kings now. I just wonder if the Kings will offer the same amount or less.

Free agent big man Chuck Hayes has agreed to sign a four-year, $22.3 million to return to Sacramento.

Hayes had his four-year, $21 million deal voided by the Kings on Monday when tests revealed an abnormality in his heart, yet he was cleared to play on Thursday morning after seeking a second opinion.

According to a source close to the situation, teams can only void contracts based on a failed physical for six days after it is signed.
