Former UConn star Morgan Tuck missed her eighth straight game with the Connecticut Sun due to a bone bruise.
Tuck said before Tuesday night's game against defending WNBA champion Los Angeles that she is nearing a return to the court. Tuck also pointed out that the bone bruise issue she is dealing with is not related in any way to the problems she as a sophomore at UConn when she underwent season-ending surgery due to pain in her knee.
"It is different," Tuck said. "It is a bone bruise so it is not anything that they'd have to go and have surgery, it is really just rest.
