USC star sophomore JuJu Watkins left Monday’s second-round matchup against Mississippi State after appearing to injure her right knee while driving to the hoop midway through the first quarter.
Watkins immediately grabbed her right knee as she fell to the court in pain. Unable to walk, Watkins had to be carried to the locker room by USC trainers.
USC announced at halftime Watkins was being evaluated by medical staff and would not return to the game. ESPN’s Holly Rowe reported Watkins left Galen Center to undergo an MRI scan.
