These moments had everyone talking on social media.

For the second consecutive week, the news isn't so much on rankings movement as much as a player injury.

A week after we reported that Sheldon's top player — Arizona State-bound guard Marcus Bagley — was sidelined with a foot injury, we saw another top Huskies player go down.

Senior guard Xavion Brown slumped to the floor during Monday night's regular-season home finale against Delta League rival Cosumnes Oaks after a soaring dunk attempt missed. He was helped off the court, clutching his left knee, though coaches initially said it does not appear serious.

Sheldon, the two-time defending NorCal Open Division champion, hopes to have Bagley and Brown back by the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I playoffs that start next week.
