A University of Michigan men’s basketball player suffered a medical emergency on Wednesday and was subsequently rushed to the hospital ahead of Saturday’s Final Four.

As seen in footage recorded by WWJ 950’s Jon Hewett, the player who was later identified as Elliot Cadeau was taken on a stretcher from Michigan’s practice facility in Ann Arbor into a waiting ambulance, all while a towel was draped over his head.

Sources told WWJ 950 that the player simply suffered an allergic reaction and is now fine. He is expected to join the team later. Cadeau was later identified as the player in question. 

A New Jersey native, Cadeau has been a key contributor for the Wolverines this season. The 6ft1 junior guard ranks fourth on the team in scoring at 10.2 points a game, while chipping in with an additional 5.8 assists per contest as well. 

The Wolverines face another top seed in the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday in Indianapolis for the right to advance to Monday’s national championship.
