I sure hope Josh is going to be OK - there is a particular phase of asthma that is referred to as "exercise induced asthma" - and can hit a guy suddenly, unexpectedly, and has even been known to come out of the blue...
it's a condition many athletes have but if they've been diagnosed and properly treated - many will be just fine & be able to compete.
But it's not even certain if that's what this is - perhaps it was just the sudden, spontaneous appearance of an asthma attack during halftime.
There actually are a few reports of this same thing happening to Josh in high school
"The Mustangs (1-0) played without 6-foot-7 senior forward Josh Cunningham due to an asthma attack."
"Cunningham, the team’s leading returning scorer and rebounder, is out for two weeks after he suffered a severe asthma attack"
Top level swimmers are often troubled with asthma due to the cold air they breathe that has pool chemicals in it
eight percent of all Olympic athletes take meds for asthma but there have been reports that it is as high as 25% among Olympic swimmers.
