A day after collapsing during a live broadcast, ESPN soccer analyst Shaka Hislop said he was looking into guidance from doctors and that he was “looking forward” to resuming aspects of his life that brought him joy.

Hislop, 54, had fallen to the turf Sunday at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles while discussing on ESPN a soccer match that was about to begin there between Real Madrid and AC Milan. While listening to a comment from network host Dan Thomas, who was on the field and on-camera with the analyst at the time, Hislop stumbled backward for a moment, then fell forward.
