Michigan’s Elliot Cadeau gets medical attention for possible allergic reaction before Final Four
ANN ARBOR (AP) - Michigan point guard Elliot Cadeau received medical attention for a possible allergic reaction while his teammates were flying to Indianapolis for the Final Four.
A video on X on Wednesday showing a covered individual being wheeled out of Michigan’s player development center on a gurney and loaded into an ambulance.
Michigan later confirmed it was Cadeau, who complained of a possible allergic reaction.
"Elliot alerted the medical staff that he may have had an allergic reaction to something that he ate," the team said in a statement. "The doctors evaluated Elliot and he is fine. Out of an abundance of caution, he is receiving medical supervision and will be traveling to Indianapolis later today."
The school said Cadeau will meet the team in Indianapolis, where Michigan is set to take on Arizona on Saturday night in a Final Four clash between No. 1 seeds.
The Wolverines are chasing their first national title since 1989 and second in program history.
Michigan’s backcourt took a hit late in the regular season when key reserve LJ Cason had a knee injury, forcing coach Dusty May to lean on Roddy Gayle and Trey McKenney to play more.
