UConn Star Paige Bueckers Won’t Return From Knee Injury During Regular Season

UConn star Paige Bueckers is unlikely to return in any of the team’s final three regular season games, according to coach Geno Auriemma.

Bueckers has been sidelined since hurting her knee on Dec. 3 against Notre Dame. She underwent surgery on Dec. 3 to repair an anterior tibial plateau fracture and lateral meniscus tear and has not played since.
