Matthew Dellavedova’s legendary performance against Stephen Curry in the 2015 NBA Finals came at a massive physical cost, and Brian Windhorst says the Australian guard’s love for coffee might have contributed to his post-game trip to the hospital.
Brian Windhorst revealed on The Hoop Collective that Matthew Dellavedova's heavy coffee consumption contributed to his hospitalization during the 2015 NBA Finals. Following a grueling Game 3 performance where Dellavedova guarded Stephen Curry and scored 20 points in Cleveland's 96-91 win, his body seized up with full-body cramps in the cold tub.
Cleveland Cavaliers medical staff administered two intravenous drips before transporting Dellavedova to the hospital for severe cramping and dehydration. Team medical staff instructed Dellavedova to cut down on drinking coffee pregame and at halftime, though Windhorst noted he caught the guard sneaking coffee before the next contest.
