Team officials have visited with him there, the spokesperson said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur focus is on Teddy&#8217;s health and supporting him and his family,\u201d said the release.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Winnipeg police major crimes unit is investigating and the organization is co-operating fully, the team said. It is declining to comment further and referred questions to police.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Police responded to a CBC inquiry by saying they were aware of the incident and are investigating, but no further information was available. <\/p>\n<p>Allen, who hails from Phoenix, Arizona, is a standout scorer and all-star for the team, and was awarded the CEBL Most Valuable Player in 2023 after leading Winnipeg to the best regular-season record ever achieved by an expansion team.\u00a0He left Winnipeg after that season but was was re-signed by the Sea Bears this year. <\/p>\n<p>On July 19, Allen set a CEBL and franchise record for most points scored in a single game (54). That same game versus the Montreal Alliance also saw Allen set a league record for most points by a player in a season (589). Since that day his points total has increased to 667. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Listen to this article Estimated 2 minutes The audio version of this article is generated by AI-based technology.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":844955,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194296],"tags":[49,48,22073],"class_list":["post-844954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-winnipeg","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-winnipeg"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=844954"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844954\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/844955"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=844954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=844954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=844954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
