BOSTON -- BYU starting center Keba Keita left Saturday's 86-84 loss to UConn after suffering a first-half injury and did not return.
Keita took a hard hit to his head and shoulder area after colliding with Huskies guard Silas Demary Jr. while chasing a loose ball. He needed to be helped off the court with 8:51 left in the first half and went to the locker room with a trainer.
BYU coach Kevin Young said after the game he did not have an update on Keita's injury or status moving forward.
"It was determined pretty quickly that he was not going to return," Young said.
