LOS ANGELES (AP) — UCLA’s Sebastian Mack received a flagrant-2 foul and was ejected against Utah on Sunday.

The freshman guard is the Bruins’ leading scorer at 13.5 points per game.

Utah’s Branden Carlson appeared to take a shot to the neck with 9:53 remaining in the first half. He stayed down on the court holding his face with a trainer checking on him until walking off to the locker room.

After a video review, the referees assessed the flagrant foul on Mack, and he headed to the locker room. He had four points on 2 of 3 shooting, with UCLA leading 16-12 at the time.
