Melbourne Storm veteran Tui Kamikamica is set to be discharged from hospital after suffering a suspected stroke on Monday morning.

The 31-year-old Fijian international is in his tenth season at the club, but his immediate playing future is uncertain while he remains in hospital.

However, The Daily Telegraph reports that Kamikamica, who is in a stable condition, is expected to be discharged in the coming days as he prepares to step up his rehabilitation.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, his agent Jeff Jurotte revealed Kamikamica’s wife found him mid-seizure at 3am and called an ambulance.

“She got him to hospital and they found that he had a blood clot,” he told CODE Sports.

“The clot was at the front of the head – they went through the groin and removed it straight away.

“He’s out of intensive care and back into a ward. They’ve got to keep him there for the next two or three days and assess him.”

Kamikamica has been an important part of their middle forward rotation and signed a new deal in January for the 2026 campaign, with the veteran coming off the bench on Saturday night in the loss to North Queensland.

The club confirmed the incident on Monday.

“Melbourne Storm can confirm that forward Tui Kamikamica is currently in hospital following a medical episode on Monday morning,” the statement read.

“He has undergone treatment for a suspected stroke and is recovering in hospital. Tui is receiving the best possible care and is being supported by hospital specialists, alongside the club’s medical staff.

“The club asks that Tui’s privacy is respected at this time. Further updates will be provided when appropriate.”

Speaking on NRL 360, Kamikamica’s former Storm teammate Nelson Asofa-Solomona revealed that “he’s all smiles” following the incident.

“Tui’s a tough guy, he doesn’t show a lot of emotion,” Asofa-Solomona said.

“Look, when I saw him he wasn’t angry that he’d had a stroke, he was more angry that he couldn’t play this weekend.

“That’s just Tui. He’s staying strong. It’s too early to have any answers, but he’s all smiles.”

The injury blow is a further setback for the competition heavyweights who are already without superstars Eli Katoa (head knocks) and Xavier Coates (Achilles).

The Storm were beaten in the last two grand finals and are coming off consecutive losses after blowing big leads.

Their depth will be tested in the coming weeks, with young gun Cooper Clarke likely to be given a bigger role as coach Craig Bellamy tried to navigate what has become a very tough period for the club.

But the on field stuff takes a back seat to Kamikamica and his health as he and his family go through their battle.
