CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy is on the sidelines coaching Tuesday against the Charlotte Bobcats despite a health scare less than 24 hours earlier.
Van Gundy says he developed some mild chest pain during the Magic’s 92-88 win Monday night in Toronto. Van Gundy stayed behind to get checked out by doctors as a precautionary measure, but everything turned out fine and he didn’t spend the night in the hospital.
Van Gundy didn’t make the team flight and flew to Charlotte on Tuesday morning on his own for the game.
Van Gundy, 52, did his usual postgame media interviews after the Magic’s win over the Raptors and didn’t mention the illness.
Van Gundy has compiled 247-120 regular-season record in five seasons with the team.
