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.
While Bueckers has returned to practice and is working her way back from her injury, Auriemma made it clear that it’s still a work in progress with her knee.
“There’s some really good days where she feels like ’I could play tomorrow’ and then there’s days where she’s reminded, ’No you can’t’.
