USC’s Isaiah Mobley out with concussion-like symptoms

By ADAM ZAGORIA

USC junior big man Isaiah Mobley missed the team’s game Saturday night against rival UCLA with concussion-like symptoms.

Despite his absence, No. 21 USC beat No. 12 UCLA, 67-64, behind 27 points and 12 rebounds from senior guard Drew Peterson.

The 6-foot-10 Mobley missed the team’s game Feb. 8 with Cal due to a broken nose suffered last Saturday against Arizona. He is averaging 14.7 points and 8.5 rebounds for No. 21 USC.

He is the older brother of Cleveland Cavaliers rookie big man Evan Mobley.
