After some time, another update came from the Efes side.

"As a result of advanced radiological evaluation and cardiac examinations performed on Chris Singleton, doctors detected pericarditis and bilateral pleural effusion. In the examinations, an aneurysm was observed at the level of the sinus valsalva of the aorta, but no dissection was observed. The examination and treatment of our player continue in the hospital. Singleton will spend today in the hospital. His condition will be evaluated again tomorrow. Developments will be shared by our club."
