Colorado Mammoth transition player Jim Moss, who missed last season with a shoulder injury, may miss more time with the team after he was diagnosed with a potentially paralyzing disorder, the team said Monday.
Moss was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre syndrome, in which the body’s immune system attacks the nervous system. The disorder appears quickly and can cause weakness or paralysis nearly immediately. It is not considered life-threatening.
“Jim is in good hands and is battling hard,” Mammoth general manager Steve Govett said. “His doctors think they caught it early in the process, which should help Jim in his recovery.”
