The condition of injured Linn-Mar basketball player Matt Lassen has improved enough for him to be taken out of the intensive care unit at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, according to Linn-Mar Athletics Director Scott Mahmens.
Lassen, a junior forward, was knocked unconscious after hitting the back of his head on the floor while attempting to draw a charging foul in the first quarter of Linn-Mar's game last Friday night against Iowa City West. Teammate Marcus Paige then landed on top of him after blocking a shot.
