UConn junior forward Alex Karaban was taken to the hospital after suffering a head injury late in the Huskies’ 85-67 loss to the Dayton Flyers at the Maui Invitational on Wednesday.
According to ESPN, Karaban was placed in concussion protocol after he hit his head on the floor while getting fouled. Karaban went to the hospital for further testing, and UConn team doctor Robert Arciero said he was “optimistic” about Karaban’s condition.
UConn began the season 4-0 and entered this week as the No. 2 team in the nation, but the Huskies lost three consecutive games at the Maui Invitational to Memphis, Colorado and Dayton, all of whom are unranked.
