Hated to see that at the end of the game today for UConn. Afraid that it's going to be the dreaded ACL.

Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst.

You can tell womens basketball hasn't quite arrived yet. If this were mens basketball, Geno would be getting absolutely plastered for having her in the game with an 18 point lead with less than a minute to go in the game.

It looks like she dribbled up court and passed to a teammate after injuring herself. What a warrior.

sounds like she might have caught a break compared to an ACL injury-
Paige Bueckers suffered a tibial plateau fracture. The estimated time of recovery is 6-8 weeks, UConn announces

Tibial plateau fracture. Out 6-8 weeks. Great news it wasn't an ACL/MCL/meniscus. She should fully recover, and it shouldn't affect her career at UCONN or beyond.

It's the best bad news I've ever seen.

Terrible news again-

UConn women's basketball star Paige Bueckers suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her left knee on Monday and will miss the 2022-23 season, the school announced Wednesday.

Bueckers injured her knee in a pickup basketball game, according to the school's release, and an MRI later that evening confirmed the ACL tear. The release did not say where the junior guard from Hopkins, Minnesota, was playing when the injury occurred. It was the same knee she injured last year, causing her to miss significant time.

Bad for Paige, UConn and the BE. She deserves a better fate and hopefully will come back stronger. If I remember correctly, the Huskies still have a lot of talent, but this is a big loss!
