LOS ANGELES -- USC star JuJu Watkins was carried off the court just five minutes into the Trojans' second-round women's NCAA tournament game against Mississippi State on Monday night because of an apparent right knee injury.
As Watkins drove to the basket on a fast break, she was fouled and her right knee buckled as she collapsed to the floor. Watkins immediately grabbed her right knee and stayed down for over a minute.
The crowd at Galen Center collectively held its breath as trainers eventually had to lift up Watkins and carry her into the locker room.
