LOS ANGELES (AP) -UCLA guard Darren Collison was briefly hospitalized because of food poisoning after the fifth-ranked Bruins’ weekend road trip to the Bay Area.
Collison fell ill Sunday night and visited a hospital near his family’s home in Rancho Cucamonga where he was given fluids and an IV, coach Ben Howland said Tuesday.
“I assume it was something he ate after the trip,” Howland said.
Collison, a preseason All-American, didn’t practice Tuesday. The team didn’t practice Sunday or Monday.
The Bruins (14-1, 2-0 Pac-10) host Washington (9-5, 0-1) on Thursday night.
Collison missed the first six games of the season with a sprained left knee. He is averaging 12.4 points per game, third on the team, and 4.0 assists.
