UConn basketball star Paige Bueckers is expected to miss a week due to a left knee sprain, as confirmed by head coach Geno Auriemma. The injury occurred during a collision with a Villanova player while going for a loose ball, causing Bueckers to limp off the court in discomfort. Despite returning to the bench with ice on her knee, she did not re-enter the game. Fortunately, Auriemma stated that there is no structural damage to her knee, which was previously injured in 2022 when she tore her ACL. Bueckers, a redshirt senior with potential to be the top pick in the upcoming WNBA Draft, will be sidelined for a critical week of play for the Huskies. The team is set to face Xavier on Wednesday night before heading to Washington, D.C. for a matchup against Georgetown on Saturday. Fans will be eagerly awaiting Bueckers’ return as she looks to make a full recovery and continue her impressive season with UConn.
