During the recent game, Oklahoma guard Duke Miles faced a challenging situation where he lost multiple teeth while diving for a loose ball. As he tried to secure possession against Riley Kugel from Mississippi State, his attempt led to a painful fall onto the hardwood, resulting in some teeth parts flying off.

Seth Tisdale, the Sooners’ trainer, confirmed that Miles damaged two teeth and received immediate medical attention on the court. After the injury, coach Porter Moser provided updates on Miles’ condition, mentioning that he was coping well post-game and credited Miles for his hustle and determination on the court.

In a remarkable turn, despite being initially sidelined, Miles returned to the game and contributed to the team’s efforts in securing a hard-fought 93-87 victory. He ended the game with three points, one rebound, and one assist, playing a key role in breaking the Sooners’ five-game losing streak.
