ESPN college basketball analyst Len Elmore, 60, was being treated by District of Columbia paramedics Tuesday morning after collapsing during a session of The Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics.

Elmore, a former NBA player and star at the University of Maryland, is also a member of the Knight Commission.

The commission was meeting at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in downtown D.C. Elmore collapsed toward the end of a question-and-answer session. William Asbury, another member of the commission and a former administrator at Penn State, alerted the room to Elmore’s condition.

He collapsed around 11:30 a.m. ET but was seen back on his feet about 15 minutes later and the paramedics finished seeing to him. Elmore left the room a couple of minutes later accompanied by Amy Perko, executive director of the Knight Commission. Details of Elmore’s condition were not immediately available.

Gerald Turner, co-chair of the commission and president of Southern Methodist University, said Elmore was going to a room at the hotel. Turner said Elmore had said he’d experienced similar episodes that are related to an ongoing health issue that Turner did not specify.

Elmore played for five teams in the NBA from 1974-84. He earned a a law degree at Harvard and also has been a player agent.
