Stanford's Jeremy Green collapsed after a win over DePaul

Stanford's leading scorer Jeremy Green collapsed after the Cardinal's overtime win against DePaul in the 76 Classic.

He apparently collapsed near a doorway exiting the arena floor and lay on the ground as Stanford coaches and medical staff hovered around him. He was taken to a hospital.

Green, who played 39 minutes this afternoon, has apparently been fighting illness all week. One writer for Rush The Court who is covering the games in Anaheim tweeted that the Stanford SID said that Green fainted.

We will update this post as news comes in.

UPDATE: It looks like Green is going to be fine. He reportedly was suffering from a stomach virus all week and could not keep any food down.

"As Jeremy was leaving the court following the game, he began to experience some dizziness and stomach pain due to exhaustion," Stanford's sports information department said in statement. "After receiving treatment at the arena, Jeremy was then transported to a local hospital for further treatment. Jeremy is currently in stable condition, and expected to travel back with the team later tonight."
