Sending Yanna all the best for a speedy, safe, strong recovery. Can't wait to have her supportive, enthusiastic presence back on the sidelines soon. I really hope she gets back to 100% so she can show her full potential in the 2025–2026 season. I can't imagine how much frustration these young athletes must face when dealing with a series of injuries, but she's made of strong stuff. You got this, Yanna!

Wow. Two years in row out. What a blow. Can't imagine the frustration and disappointment. Dang dang dang .

Least surprising news. When her shoulder was immobilized like it was the chance of her returning became exceedingly unlikely. Tough road for her to miss two full seasons in a row due to injury. One is hard enough to be two years removed that’s a tall task for anyone.

I wish Ayanna the best in her recovery. How disappointing it must be for her to miss another season.

All of Husky Nation is with you Ayanna. Lean on your team mates; they'll be there for you every step of the way.

 

[JellyBean]

My heart goes out to Ayanna. Wishing her a safe and speedy recovery.

 

[MSSportsGuy]

Hate hearing about injuries of any sort and this is a tough break for her. Hope for a full recovery and that she comes back as good as ever next season.

Geez, we can’t have one fully healthy season can we…

 

[Bigboote]

Saw it coming, but it still sucks. I hope the surgery is fully successful and she's able to begin rehab soon.

Good article. I did not know that Ayanna was blind in her right eye before. Maggie has done a great job covering Uconn WBB.

So disappointing. I was always looking forward to Yanna dunking in a game. I hope her rehab goes smoothly.

 

[EricLA]

So awful for her. She must be terribly disappointed. Hard to understand how a player who is so athletic and physically strong could suffer such a string of contact injuries. I just hope she's healthy and happy as i wonder if, like Carol, we will ever see Ayanna play basketball at UCONN.

 

[Linart]

I think Yanna will return at some point. She is too determined to play and won't throw it all away. Carol on the other hand, well, her health comes first. And if she spends the rest of her time at UConn sitting on the bench, cheering on her teammates and getting her degree, I have no problem with that.

Sending get well wishes to Ayanna, with prayers for a great recovery. Missing one year of playing because of injury can be difficult to deal with, but missing two straight years must be devastating. Stay strong. Heal well! You got this!! Go UConn! Go Huskies!

 

[Ozimoto]

Ugh. The beat goes on. Hope the surgery goes well, she gets well soon, and we look forward to her return next year.
