Winnipeg Sea Bears face playoff setbacks after star player's assault and travel delays

The Winnipeg Sea Bears announced that their leading scorer, 28‑year‑old guard Teddy Allen, was badly injured after an alleged assault by security staff at a downtown nightclub. Allen was released from hospital but may require surgery and will miss the upcoming playoff game against the Saskatoon Mamba.

The team’s postseason prospects were further hampered by travel problems that delayed their arrival for a crucial regular‑season matchup with the Vancouver Bandits. A weather‑related flight issue forced the Sea Bears to reroute through Alberta and Calgary before reaching British Columbia, resulting in a 90‑minute game delay and a 114‑90 loss that cost them the top Western Conference seed.
