Michigan’s starting point guard Elliot Cadeau remained behind when his teammates departed for Indianapolis on Wednesday after suffering an allergic reaction to food, team officials announced.
The junior guard is scheduled to join the Wolverines later Wednesday night as the team gears up for their national semifinal showdown against Arizona this Saturday.
“Before the team departed the Player Development Center today, Elliot alerted the medical staff that he may have had an allergic reaction to something that he ate,” Michigan spokesperson Tom Wywrot said in the 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 former North Carolina player has been a key contributor for Michigan this season, starting every one of the team’s 38 games in his first year wearing the maize and blue. Cadeau has posted career-high numbers with 10.2 points per contest while pacing the Wolverines with 5.8 assists per game. The junior ranks among three Michigan players who have knocked down more than 60 three-point shots this season, shooting an impressive 37.7 percent from long range.
