Austin Freeman of Georgetown has developed diabetes, which shouldn't affect
basketball career

Austin Freeman 被檢驗出糖尿病，但不至於影響到他的籃球生涯。


Georgetown's leading scorer, junior guard Austin Freeman, has developed
diabetes -- a condition that shouldn't affect his basketball career but does
account for the illness, initially thought to be a stomach virus, that has
limited his play.

一度被認為是腸胃病毒造成了他近來的不適。


Freeman disclosed the diagnosis in an interview Wednesday evening, joined by
his physician, Stephen Clement, head of the Diabetes Center at Georgetown
University Hospital; his father, Austin Freeman III; and Hoyas Coach John
Thompson III.

Freeman 在醫生陪同下，在訪談中揭露了這個事實。


"It's just something I'm going to have to deal with," said Freeman, 20, who
received the diagnosis soon after he was taken to the hospital's emergency
room Monday. "It's going to be a certain change in my diet and my life. But I
know I can deal with it. I'll be fine."

的確這會為我的飲食和生活帶來很大影響，但我會好起來的。


The 6-foot-4 guard joined his teammates for practice Wednesday for the first
time since he started feeling ill prior to Saturday's game against Notre Dame.

在感到不適後，週三已經開始進行首度的練球。


"I felt good," he said. "It felt real good out there to be back on the floor
and playing with my team."

Thompson said it's not clear when Freeman will return to the team, neither
ruling out nor penciling in his top scorer for Saturday's regular season
finale against Cincinnati or the Big East tournament, which starts Tuesday in
New York.

教練 Thompson 提到，還不確定聯盟季後賽 Freeman 是否可以順利出賽。
