Oklahoma Sooners men’s basketball guard Duke Miles suffered a horrific injury while diving for a loose ball during the team’s win over Mississippi State on Saturday.
Miles tried to get the loose ball, but he face-planted on the hardwood floor of the Lloyd Noble Center. Images showed the senior transfer from High Point spitting out pieces of his teeth as he appeared to be in tremendous pain as he lay on the court.

Oklahoma held a 73-64 lead with 6:57 left in the game at that point. The Sooners beat the Bulldogs 93-87.
The school’s trainer, Seth Tisdale, told the school’s radio broadcast team that Miles chipped two teeth.
“Our team dentist was in [the locker room] when I went to do radio,” Sooners head coach Porter Moser said, via CBS Sports. “His teeth aren’t that pretty right now. He was doing fine when I left. He was just hustling, diving for a ball.”
Miles did return to the floor after the incident. He had three points in 16 minutes for Oklahoma.
