RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina State officials stopped a public scrimmage when the grandfather of senior Scott Wood fell ill at courtside and was carried away on a stretcher.

Team spokesman Dwayne Harrison said later that Wood’s grandfather had been taken to a hospital for evaluation. His name wasn’t immediately available.

A visibly upset Wood followed behind the stretcher, and officials stopped the 20-minute intrasquad scrimmage with 3:35 left Friday night.

It was part of the “Primetime with the Pack” event to start the season for the Wolfpack, who are expected to be among the favorites in the Atlantic Coast Conference. It included second-year coach Mark Gottfried entering by riding a zip line down to the court from the second level of the PNC Arena stands.

The event drew more than 10,000 fans.
