North Carolina Tar Heels forward Luke Maye was involved in a car accident Thursday afternoon on the way home from his brother's middle school graduation, according to theย Charlotte Observer's Scott Fowler.ย 

Maye's father, Mark Maye, said his son escaped with "scratches" and "scrapes."ย 

"He did run into an 18-wheeler and spun his car around, landing on a bank beside the road," Mark Maye said, per Fowler. "Damaged the car pretty bad, but he (Luke) said he feels perfectly fine."

Maye, 20, averaged 5.5 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per game during the Tar Heels' run to the national title last season.

The rising junior's signature moment came in the Elite Eight when he scored 17 points, including a game-winning three-pointer with 0.3 seconds remaining, to help North Carolina sneak past the Kentucky Wildcats.ย
