Duke guard Tyrese Proctor (5) reacts with forward Maliq Brown (6) after making a play against Kansas during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024, in Las Vegas.

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Kansas center Hunter Dickinson was ejected midway through the second half of the top-ranked Jayhawks' 75-72 victory over No. 11 Duke on Tuesday night for kicking the Blue Devils' Maliq Brown in the head.

Brown was assessed a personal foul for backing into Dickinson while both were going for a rebound. Dickinson was given a flagrant-2 for the kick, leading to the ejection. He initially remained in the bench area with his teammates before being escorted off the floor.
