Oklahoma held a 73-64 lead with 6:57 left in the game at that point. The Sooners beat the Bulldogs 93-87.

The school’s trainer, Seth Tisdale, told the school’s radio broadcast team that Miles chipped two teeth.

"Our team dentist was in [the locker room] when I went to do radio," Sooners head coach Porter Moser said, via CBS Sports. "His teeth aren't that pretty right now. He was doing fine when I left. He was just hustling, diving for a ball."

Miles did return to the floor after the incident. He had three points in 16 minutes for Oklahoma.
