Michigan starting point guard Elliot Cadeau rejoined his Wolverines teammates for the Final Four after an allergic reaction sent him to the hospital. The junior, who averages 10.2 points and 5.8 assists, revealed he accidentally consumed something he was allergic to, causing him to require medical treatment while his teammates were flying to Indianapolis.

Cadeau described the incident as "just a minor inconvenience" with "just a little bit of hives," though he was transported from the team's player development center via ambulance Wednesday. Coach Dusty May confirmed his star guard is "fine" and expressed gratitude that the situation wasn't more serious, noting how concerned teammates were when they learned about his condition.

The No. 1 seed Wolverines will face fellow top seed Arizona in the national semifinals this weekend. May emphasized the incident reveals how much Cadeau means to his team, calling him "a warrior" who will be ready to play. His return provides crucial stability for Michigan as they pursue their championship aspirations.
