The Michigan basketball team's Final Four sendoff in Ann Arbor on Wednesday was briefly delayed due to a medical issue involving point guard Elliot Cadeau. Cadeau was removed from the team bus and transported on a gurney to a nearby ambulance after he suffered an apparent allergic reaction. The team spokesperson said Cadeau is fine and will travel to Indianapolis later today to join the team as they prepare for their national semifinal matchup.
Why it matters
Cadeau has been a key player for Michigan this season, starting all 38 games and leading the team in assists. His health and availability for the Final Four is crucial for the Wolverines' chances of winning their first national championship since 2018.
The details
Shortly after the Michigan team boarded the bus to travel to Indianapolis, Cadeau alerted the medical staff that he may have had an allergic reaction to something he ate. Doctors evaluated Cadeau and, out of an abundance of caution, he was transported to a nearby ambulance. The team spokesperson said Cadeau is fine and will travel to Indianapolis later today to join the team as they practice on Thursday and Friday ahead of their national semifinal game against Arizona on Saturday.
