LAS VEGAS — Adem Bona sprawled on the court, using every inch of his massive wingspan to chase a loose ball. His immediate grimace and clutching of his left shoulder while he remained down led to wincing from an entire fan base.
UCLA could not absorb another serious injury.
Already down their best defender, the Bruins lost another starter early in the second half Friday night at T-Mobile Arena when Bona stayed down for a lengthy stretch before getting up and walking slowly to the locker room.
