Coach Ben Howland seemed worried and anxious after the game, mentioning that star forward Alfred Aboya may have suffered a broken hand or wrist.
But two different x-rays came back negative, and Aboya says he thinks he will be ok.
This came from the UCLA Sports information department late Friday night. Aboya was not permitted to speak to the press after UCLA’s win against Southern Illinois.
"Second X-Ray negative. CT scan negative. UCLA will do a precautionary MRI in Los Angeles upon return. All scans and X-Rays today were done at the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases," said UCLA spokesman Ryan Finney.
Finney also emailed this quote from Aboya.
"I hurt it last night (against Michigan) after a charge and then again tonight when I drew that last charge (came in the second half at the 3:38 mark by Nick Evans). I just came back from the hospital and the CT scan and X-Rays were both negative. On Monday, I’ll go get an MRI on my wrist (left), just to double check. But I think I’ll be fine. We have tomorrow and Sunday off, so for me, I think that is enough time to heal. My body heals up pretty quickly."
