GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — An NBA G League and former Illinois State player for the Grand Rapids Drive who collapsed on the court near the end of a game with the Long Island Nets is currently under care by doctors.

The Drive said in a news release Sunday that further updates on Zeke Upshaw's condition will be provided when available. The team didn't provide additional details on Upshaw's condition.
