Cadeau's Allergy Scare Before Big Game
3 Apr
Summary
- Point guard Cadeau experienced hives from cashew nut ingestion.
- Coach May confirmed Cadeau is recovering and rejoined the team.
- Cadeau is vital to Michigan's NCAA tournament success.
Michigan's starting point guard, Elliot Cadeau, experienced a concerning allergic reaction on Wednesday, prompting an ambulance visit as the team prepared to travel to Indianapolis. Cadeau confirmed on Thursday that the incident was due to an accidental ingestion of cashew nuts, which triggered mild hives. "I just had a little bit of hives, so that's why I went to the hospital, just to prevent anything further from happening," he stated.
Head coach Dusty May reassured the media that Cadeau is fine and has since rejoined the team. "Very unfortunate for him to have to go through that," May commented, emphasizing Cadeau's warrior spirit and the concern shown by his teammates. The coach expressed gratitude for the team's medical care and Cadeau's swift return.
Cadeau has been a significant contributor to the Wolverines this season under coach May, averaging a career-high 10.2 points and 5.8 assists per game, while also improving his three-point shooting to over 37%. His role has become even more critical due to injuries to backup point guards. Michigan will rely heavily on Cadeau's performance in their upcoming Saturday night game against Arizona, with a chance to advance in the NCAA tournament.
