Former Indiana University basketball player A.J. Moye suffered a
stroke after colliding head-on with a teammate in Germany, the
Indianapolis Star reported Thursday.
Moye, who currently plays for Deutsche Bank Skyliners in
Frankfurt, is expected to make a full recovery after the freak
incident.
The former Hoosiers guard from Atlanta, Georgia crashed into
a teammate during practice Monday, but “abnormal
behavior” Tuesday led to him being taken to the hospital for
tests.
“He is showing no long-term effects,”
Moye’s agent, Aaron Smith, said Thursday. “He has no
paralysis. His speech is fine. His family is with him now. It looks
like he’ll have a full recovery.
“He did suffer a stroke. It was precipitated by a
collision in practice. A.J. had a couple of concussions at IU and
he’s had a couple since he’s been a pro. They are doing
a lot of tests to be sure of exactly what happened.”
Moye was a member of Indiana’s 2002 Final Four team.
The Hoosiers lost in the National Championship game to
Maryland.
