UConn star Paige Buckers was injured during a January 5 matchup against Villanova. If you’re here, you might wonder: When will she return to the court?
Here’s the answer. It’s uncertain when she will be back.
On Tuesday, Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma explained that she has a knee sprain. Thankfully, there is no tear and her ankle, which was also thought to be injured, is fine. Bueckers “could return within a week,” but her timeline for return is unclear. If she misses the next several days or so of action, that would likely be matchups against Xavier, Georgetown and St. John’s.
Geno said her ankle is sore but fine
