San Antonio Spurs forward Fabricio Oberto will be sidelined in next two NBA games because of an irregular heartbeat.

Oberto felt his heart beating abnormally on Thursday, and tests confirmed he was experiencing atria fibrillation.

His heart is back to normal, but Oberto will not play on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers or on Sunday against New Orleans so he can be monitored by doctors.

The Argentine is averaging 2.7 points and 2.7 rebounds off the bench.
