West Virginia forward Akok Akok has been hospitalized after collapsing on the court during a charity exhibition game.
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia forward Akok Akok was hospitalized Friday night after collapsing on the court during a charity exhibition game. Akok suffered a medical emergency early in the second half of the game with George Mason, West Virginia’s athletic department said in a statement. Medical personnel attended to Akok for several minutes before he was removed from the court on a stretcher. He was taken to a hospital for further observation. “I got good news.
“He wanted to make sure he congratulated his teammates, and he’s in a good place right now. They’re probably going to be holding him overnight to do a lot of testing, but I never thought I’d have to deal with a situation like that. It’s heartbreaking, but I’m glad he’s still here with us.” The game eventually resumed. Eilert said he talked with George Mason coach Tony Skinn, who “left it up to me. I made sure the guys were in a good headspace, good enough headspace to continue the game.
