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.
The team, in a statement at halftime, announced that Watkins was being evaluated by USC Keck Medicine staff and would not return to the game.
As Watkins drove to the basket on a fast break between two defenders, she was fouled and her right knee buckled as she planted her right leg, causing her to collapse to the floor.
