    NEW YORK — Evan Battey thought he was just going to play a simple game of pickup basketball with his friends last Dec. 26 at a 24 Hour Fitness near his home in View Park, Calif.

    Battey was home on break from the University of Colorado, where he was sitting out an academic redshirt season under coach Tad Boyle.

    He had suffered a stroke despite being just a freshman in college.
