By Jason OwensYahoo Sports

Who says basketball's not a collision sport? UCLA guard Skyy Clark sported a gap-toothed smile on Friday that would make a hockey player proud. Clark dove to the court to fight for a loose ball late in UCLA’s 75-71 win over UCF .

As he was on his back, UCF Themus Fulks inadvertently elbowed him in the mouth. Out flying came one of Clark’s front teeth. Or part of it a least.

Half of it remained, jaggedly protruding from his gums. The other half was on the court at Xfinity Mobile Arena, having been broken and knocked out by Fulks’ right elbow.
