Auriemma: UConn's Paige Bueckers Uncertain to Return from Injury for Big East Tourney

UConn guard Paige Bueckers is not expected to return before the end of the regular season, coach Geno Auriemma said Sunday.

"There's some really good days when she feels like, 'I could play tomorrow.' And then there's days when she’s reminded, 'No you can't,'" Auriemma told reporters. "So there's more good days than not, but she’s not going to be playing in this coming week. Let’s put it that way. You’re not going to see here Wednesday, Friday or Sunday.”

Bueckers has been out of the lineup since suffering a tibial plateau fracture and meniscus tear to her left knee Dec.
