Boston Celtics general manager Danny Ainge is in the hospital after suffering a mild heart attack. He is at Massachusetts General Hospital, currently resting and recovering.

Ainge, 50, had the heart attack at about 5 AM ET on Thursday while he was sleeping. The Celtics released a statement saying that he was “recovering nicely.” He is expected to stay in the hospital for a few more days.

“It was scary, but he’s doing well,” Ainge’s son, Austin, said. “We’re relieved because all of the tests came back. We expect him to be up and around in the next day or so. It’s under control.”

Ainge is a former Celtics guard and won two championships with the team. He has been the GM since 2003. He paved the way for the Celtics last year for the team to win their first NBA title since 1986.
