Greek basketball club Olympiakos announced on Tuesday that their former NBA star Josh Childress has come down with the H1N1 flu and will be out of action for more than a week.
“Our player Josh Childress has been diagnosed with the H1N1 flu. He is currently being treated and doctors are completely satisfied with his condition,” an announcement by Olympiakos said.
Childress is the third player of the team to come down with the H1N1 flu after Sophocles Schortsanitis and Kostas Papanikolaou were taken ill last month after the team returned from the United States where they played two friendly games with NBA teams.
