CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert continues to recover after suffering a stroke last month. The team released an update on Wednesday afternoon.
"Dan’s family is happy to share that he maintains his strong sense of humor and focus on constant improvement," Quicken Loans CEO Jay Farner said in a statement. "In fact, a few days ago, Dan requested his favorite beverage. When the hospital staff informed him they were not able to provide it, in the humorous tone Dan is known for, he insisted that a review of the hospital’s beverage best-practices be completed.
"To be clear, Dan’s recovery is a process that will take time – but we are all confident that he will meet this challenge head on as he always does.”
The Gilbert's have received an outpouring of thoughts from Cavaliers fans, the City of Cleveland and the NBA community.
“Dan Gilbert and his family are beyond grateful for the thoughts and well wishes from so many people as they focus on Dan’s recovery."
Gilbert, 57, purchased the Cavaliers in 2005. He's played a vital role in resurgence of downtown Cleveland.
