UConn's Alex Karaban Hospitalized After Head Injury in Loss to Dayton

The Huskies' junior forward underwent concussion evaluation following UConn's third consecutive loss at the Maui Invitational.

  • Alex Karaban, UConn's leading scorer this season, was hospitalized after hitting his head on the floor during the team's 85-67 loss to Dayton.
  • Karaban remained in the game after the incident but was later placed in concussion protocol and underwent further testing at a local hospital.
  • UConn team doctor Robert Arciero expressed optimism about Karaban's condition, anticipating normal results from a CT scan.
  • The loss to Dayton marked UConn's third consecutive defeat to unranked teams at the Maui Invitational, dropping the team to a 4-3 record for the season.
  • Karaban's absence, if prolonged, could challenge UConn's efforts to recover, with the team set to host Maryland Eastern Shore on Saturday.
