Nebraska Coach Fred Hoiberg Leaves Game With Illness

During his team's Big Ten tournament game against Indiana, Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg left the bench for the locker room late in the first half. He was taken to the hospital, according to Jeff Goodman of Stadium.

Hoiberg, 47, appeared unwell during the game prior to his departure. Indiana went on to win, 89-64.

Hoiberg's mid-game exit comes on the same night the NBA announced it was suspending its season until further notice after one of its players—Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert—tested positive for coronavirus.

There is no word yet if Hoiberg's illness is related to coronavirus.
