On Wednesday, Paige Bueckers returned to team drills for the first time since undergoing left knee surgery to repair an anterior tibial plateau fracture and lateral meniscus tear in December.
“Today was the first day that she was able to get out on the court where there was some semblance of defense and that she could run up and down on the floor a couple times at two trips at a time for a few minutes,” Geno Auriemma said after practice on Wednesday.
In the last half hour open to media, Bueckers ran through a handful of half-court offensive plays with the team that involved moving around the perimeter and pulling up for jump shots.
