Marcus Allen, a sophomore guard on the Miami men’s basketball team<\/a>, will step away from the court to focus on his health.<\/p>\n

Allen was recently diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and has begun chemotherapy, the team announced Friday. Allen will be sidelined for the rest of the season.<\/p>\n

The Florida native and University of Missouri<\/a> transfer joined the Hurricanes ahead of the 2025-26 season. Miami opened the year with six transfers on its roster.<\/p>\n

“Marcus is an incredible person and teammate, and we will do everything we can to support him and his amazing family during this difficult time,” Hurricanes coach Jai Lucas said via The Associated Press.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

FIRST PERSON WITH MS TO PLAY IN THE NBA SHARES HIS INSPIRING MESSAGE: ‘MAKE THE MOST OF IT’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“Marcus brings toughness and selflessness to our locker room every day, and those same qualities will help him defeat this disease. Our entire program will continue to support Marcus in any way that we can as he focuses on his health.”<\/p>\n

Allen’s family expressed gratitude for the outpouring of support.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during an extremely difficult time for our family,” the family said in a statement posted on a GoFundMe launched in support of Allen.<\/p>\n

“We thank God for his continued Grace, Mercy and Favor. We wait in anticipation for the miracle healing to take place. We are standing on FAITH.”<\/p>\n

Allen appeared in eight games this season, averaging 5.3 points and 3.1 rebounds. Last month’s game against Georgetown<\/a> marked Allen’s final appearance of the year.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes enter Sunday’s home game against North Florida with a 10-2 record.<\/p>\n
