Miami will be without sophomore guard/forward Marcus Allen for the rest of the season. The official Miami basketball X page disclosed Allen has non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A GoFundMe page that has been set up for Allen has raised $1,000 of its $50,000 goal thus far.
Allen returned home to Miami after one season at Missouri. In high school, Allen averaged 22.7 points per game and 13.2 rebounds as a senior to lead Miami Norland to the 2024 Florida State championship. Allen was the 5A Player of the Year and Joe DiMaggio South Florida High School Player of the Year in 2024-24.
