With one minute remaining in the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball game against Georgetown, senior forward Marek Dolezaj took a tough shot to the mouth. A loose limb found Dolezaj going up for a rebound which caused the senior forward/center to chip a tooth.
Bleeding from the mouth, Dolezaj motioned to the locker room, but his head coach insisted he was fine. Syracuse was holding onto a 72-65 lead when Dolezaj took a shot to the chops.
“You just hurt your tooth. You didn’t hurt anything else. Let’s go,” Jim Boeheim said.
Instead, Syracuse trainer Brad Pike tended to Dolezaj and he finished out the game.
