A former Jackson County High School basketball player is reportedly in ICU in South Carolina after suffering a cardiac arrest during a pickup basketball game on April 15.
According to WCBD television of Charleston, S.C., “Kalib Clinton collapsed and went into cardiac arrest while playing a pick-up game at CSU last Monday, according to family members.
“Clinton’s mother, Shana, said he was taken to a nearby hospital where he was resuscitated and placed on a ventilator. He is now in stable condition but suffered severe brain trauma and remains in the intensive care unit.”
Clinton played basketball for Charleston Southern University where he is a junior.
Clinton was a standout player at JCHS where in 2021, he became the all-time leading scorer with 1,934 career points and 962 rebounds. He was also the co-region player of the year in 2021.
At CSU, Clinton played in 18 games during the 2023-24 season, according to the Charleston television station.
A GoFundMe has been set up to help the Clinton family move Kalib to a facility back in Georgia.
