Us fans of other MVC teams are pulling for and praying for DJ.
As some of you may know, we had a baseball player a couple years ago who collapsed and died, and nobody would ever want to see a repeat anywhere.
That incident led to all other athletes at Bradley undergoing exhaustive testing, then a similar heart finding was discovered in basketball player Taylor Brown
who missed an entire year but was able to come back and complete his senior season

According to this article from Rob Dauster, it's not the worst case scenario:
The good news, according to Marshall, is that the doctors have ruled out hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, an enlargement of muscles in the heart that causes many incidents of sudden cardiac death, but despite a litany of tests, the cause of Bowles’ blackout is still unknown. There’s no timetable for a return.

The worst-case scenario is that if they are unable to find a cause, which believe it or not, is a possibility even with the advance state of medical care available in this day and age. Then what do you do? Hopefully, they are able to figure it out what happened and can make a definitive call on DJ's future.

Edit: I should clarify that it may not be the worst-case scenario, but that diagnosis would certainly be very serious.
