Nika Mühl is making progress in her recovery from a high ankle sprain, though her status for UConn’s Final Four matchup with Arizona on Friday remains uncertain.
She responded well after returning to practice for the first time on Wednesday but will need to test it again on Thursday.
“She says she feels good. We’re getting ready to practice as soon as we finish with the with the media stuff so we’ll know more a little bit later,” Auriemma said on Thursday. “It was encouraging that our medical staff said that after doing a little bit yesterday, she looked pretty good, and I’m hoping that after she does a little bit more today, she’ll feel just as good tomorrow morning when she wakes up.
