James Conner Reveals he had 1 week to live

after his cancer diagnosis.

"I'm rehabbing for that, trying to make a comeback before the season ends," Conner said. "And then I'm rehabbing and [stuff and I get] night sweats, bro. I'm getting like 15 minutes of sleep at night, going through it. Sleep, who [doesn't] love sleep? That's the worst [stuff] in the world ... And so I get some tests done, and I got tumors surrounding my heart ... I got tumors growing all around it, and it's pressing."

The issue was severe — so severe, in fact, that Conner says doctors gave him a grim prognosis on the spot.

"The doctor told me I had a week left," Conner said. "He said, 'You got about a week. If you [don't] get this treated, you [have] about a week at the rate it's growing.'"

Really a miracle to see the kind of career he has had since beating cancer. He was a hell of a competitor to play against as well.
