Jonathan Jeanne diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome
The disorder may end Jeanne's career
Jonathan Jeanne has been diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome, a potentially career-ending disorder.
Per The Vertical, Jeanne underwent an MRI while participating in the Chicago draft combine in May that showed an abnormality in his spine that required follow-up examinations. He completed medical, physical and genetic testing at the Cleveland Clinic and received the results Thursday.
Marfan syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the body’s connective tissues. Former Baylor standout Isaiah Austin was diagnosed with the disorder in his predraft process in 2014 and announced in December 2016 that he was cleared to resume full basketball activities.
