Dwight Jones, a power forward and center whose ejection from the 1972 Olympic basketball championship game in Munich contributed to the United States team’s controversial 51-50 loss to the Soviet Union, died on Monday in The Woodlands, Tex. He was 64.
The cause was an aortic aneurysm, said Jeff Conrad, director of athletics communications at the University of Houston, where Jones played on two N.C.A.A. tournament teams.
