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