UConn forward Alex Karaban was transported to a hospital for a head injury sustained during an 85-67 loss to Dayton on Wednesday in the seventh-place game at the Maui Invitational at Lahaina, Hawaii.

Karaban hit the floor after being fouled on a contested layup with approximately 2 1/2 minutes left in the second half.

He stayed on the court for several moments before walking to the foul line, where he made both of his free throws. He remained in the game until 36 seconds remained.

UConn team doctor Robert Arciero told the Hartford Courant that Karaban was taken to Maui Memorial Medical Center for further testing “to make sure it’s not something significant.”

Arciero added that “he looks pretty good. We can’t predict what the (CAT) scan will be, but we anticipate it’s going to be normal.”

Karaban scored a team-best 21 points for the Huskies (4-3), who lost all three games in Hawaii.

The preseason All-Big East selection is averaging a team-leading 15.9 points per game to go along with 4.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists.

UConn returns to action against Maryland Eastern Shore (2-8) on Saturday in Hartford, Conn.
