Sabres forward Kyle Okposo is hospitalized in intensive care as of Wednesday, the Buffalo News reports.

Okposo, 28, is reportedly in the Neuro Surgical ICU at Buffalo General Hospital. Okposo is publicly listed as having been sick since March 28, and head coach Dan Bylsma said he was “very concerned” about his health, but the team has released no official update on his status.

It remains unclear exactly what is ailing him.

“It’s a difficult thing for him to be dealing with now in this situation,” Bylsma said in KeyBank Center. “Very, as a coach and a person, concerned for him and his situation. He’s seeing our doctors and done some tests.”
