UConn star freshman Liam McNeeley will miss "weeks" with a high-ankle sprain, coach Dan Hurley announced Saturday.

McNeeley suffered the injury in the second half of the Huskies' 81-68 win over DePaul on Wednesday. He took an awkward fall after chasing a loose ball, colliding with DePaul guard Layden Blocker. He went to the locker room, returning to the bench in the final minutes of the 81-68 win with a boot on his right foot.

After the game, Hurley said McNeeley was going to get an MRI on the ankle.
