UConn women’s basketball junior Aubrey Griffin will likely miss the rest of the season due to a disk injury in her back, head coach Geno Auriemma revealed on Friday.
“She’s been dealing with with a disc injury in her back and there’s a good possibility that she’s gonna need surgery on that,” he said. “I don’t envision her being back the rest of the season.”
Griffin hasn’t played this season due to a combination of injuries. She initially suffered a high-ankle sprain in October and also dealt with a leg issue. Ahead of the team’s game at Seton Hall, Auriemma told reporters that Griffin would play a few minutes but reversed course the next day and downgraded her to out.
