CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- Illinois basketball player Jamar Smith will miss the rest of the season after injuring himself in a traffic accident.
"It has been mutually agreed upon between myself and Jamar Smith and his family, that he sit out the remainder of this season so that he can focus all of his attention on the physical, emotional, academic and other related issues he will face in the coming weeks," coach Bruce Weber said Friday on the athletic department's Web site.
But his passenger, freshman center Brian Carlwell was hospitalized with a more severe concussion. Carlwell was released from Carle Foundation Hospital on Friday afternoon, and plans to attend the Illini's game against Northwestern on Sunday.

Thank goodness Carwell is o.k., he had me worried. Too bad Smith will be out the season, we could have really used him....
