Maccabi prospect collapses
Mikhail TorranceTurkish Airlines Euroleague Basketball extends its sincere best wishes for a speedy recovery to Mikhail Torrance, a Maccabi Electra Tel Aviv prospect who was hospitalized over the weekend. Torrance collapsed while training in Bradenton, Florida near his home state of Alabama, USA. He was expected to travel soon to Tel Aviv to fulfill a contract agreed to with Maccabi Electra last month. Torrance had spoken earlier this year for publication about having been diagnosed with an enlarged heart. Torrance had just started his third day of workouts at the IMG Academy in Florida when he collapsed during a break. He remained hospitalized in Sarasota, Florida throughout the weekend. In a statement from the club, Maccabi head coach David Blatt said: "We are all praying for Mikhail's welfare and hope he makes a complete recovery. We are monitoring the situation closely."
