It is not clear yet the identity of the person transported to Yale New Haven Hospital.

Daniels, a native of Meriden, Connecticut, played the last four seasons for the men’s basketball team. In February, he became just the 13th Bobcat in Division I history to score 1,000 points.

Daniels left the team for a three-week period in late-December after a verbal disagreement with head coach Baker Dunleavy on the sidelines of a Dec. 7 game at the University of Hartford. The team cited “personal reasons” for Daniels’ absence from the team, and he returned on New Year’s Day against Siena and played a lesser role for the remainder of the season.
