Former Coronado basketball player Felix Reeves (20) recovering after stroke (Sep. 2022)

Felix Reeves suffered a stroke on the evening of Sept. 24, 2022. A blood clot formed that night in his brain, robbing the 6-foot-5-inch wing of basic cognitive and motor skills during an 18-day stay at Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican Hospital.

He was released Oct. 11, the day after his 21st birthday.

Dr. Paul Janda, the director of stroke and neurology at Valley Hospital Center and Centennial Hills Medical Center, said strokes in young patients, “especially those that are athletes,” are rare. [True, but since 2021 they're a lot less rare than they used to be before 2021.]
