Syracuse center Izabel Varejão did not travel with the team to Greensboro for the ACC tournament due to an illness, SU Athletics announced in a press release Thursday morning.

After an over two-month absence due to a head injury from December to February, Varejão returned to the court on Feb. 8 versus Georgia Tech. She appeared in the Orange’s final seven games, notching a career-high 14 points and seven rebounds in SU’s final regular season game against then-No. 12 NC State.

Following four seasons at Michigan from 2019-22 — but only playing in two seasons — Varejão transferred to Syracuse for her graduate year. Across 15 games (eight starts) in 2023-24, she averaged 6.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game while averaging 17.5 minutes when she played.

Varejão’s status for the NCAA Tournament is unknown.
