Richmond announces that basketball player Jack McCaffery is taking a medical leave of absence following a Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosis. The university says he will undergo treatment.

Multiple outlets identify McCaffery as a 20-year-old who transferred to Richmond from Butler earlier this offseason. They also note that he is based in Philadelphia and that he is the son of Penn men’s basketball coach Fran McCaffery. Coverage centers on his health status and the team’s response, with Richmond communicating that he is stepping away for medical reasons.

While the reports largely align on the diagnosis and leave of absence, they emphasize slightly different background details. Some lead more with his family connection and diagnosis, while others add personal context such as his home base and what his treatment involves.
