ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – UNM Lobos senior guard Saquan Singleton announced Monday he will be out indefinitely due to heart issues.
Singleton was diagnosed with a heart abnormality discovered when he returned from an illness. Earlier this month, he missed practice due to COVID-19 protocols.
The senior guard gave his remarks on Twitter, stating "Life is unpredictable, enjoy the good times, and never take anything for granted. Despite the diagnosis, I’m blessed to still be here and can’t wait for the opportunity to get back on the court with my teammates. It’s in Gods hands."
