PSU’s Smith may show up at today’s tilt: “Terrific news will greet the Penn State Nittany Lions today when they host the Michigan Wolverines at the Jordan Center (12:15).
“Marlon Smith has been released from Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and was planning last night to attend the game, according to coach Ed DeChellis.
“PSU’s sophomore guard has undergone a weeklong battery of tests since collapsing during practice on Jan. 7 and has been cleared of any imminent life-threatening condition.
” ‘He’s back on campus,’ DeChellis said last night. ‘We’re hoping he’ll be able to talk to everyone [today] after the game.’
“DeChellis was planning to ask for the blessing of Smith’s family in order to hold a postgame news conference to clear the air about the player’s diagnosis. …”
