Azzi in street clothes tonight

I can't help but think its an ACL. The kid is an all time shooter but those knees are her worst enemy.

Based on how Geno described it I doubt it is an ACL. That isn't the type of injury you casually walk to the training room to get looked at. My guess is she will be fine and back in the line up as soon a the MRI can be done to make sure there is no structural damage.

Maybe it was MCL. One of those you can injure and still walk on.

 

[Ozimoto]

Whatever it is (and we all hope it is minor), it has to play with her mind. She's had to deal with injuries since the middle of her high school career. It's got to be wearing on her.

Sheesh. Hope it’s just a sprain or tweak of the knee. She ( and the team in general) need to catch a break.

I sprained my left knee once playing softball, saw an orthopedic suregeon, had an MRI and the whole bit. He advised rest and then some specific exercises. I could walk OK but it took 3-4 months to fully heal - it was a long process.

My daughter had two torn ACL’s playing soccer. In both cases, she walked over to the sideline with only a slight limp. That’s not uncommon.

I believed without a doubt she'd be an all-amercian this year. Now- don't even know if she'll play the rest of the season and if she does - questioning to whar level she can perform. Very sad for her with all the injuries. An amazing talent.
Just have to take a step back and hope for the best without expectations.

Was your daughter walking on it fine two days later without crutches?

I’m going to have to start watching other sports where knees and ankles don’t matter. If there are any.

Chess.

 

[AzzisBraids]

Through no fault of her own, she just cannot get and stay healthy. Reminds me of Kawhi Leonard, a superstar talent who's body can't seem keep up with the amount of durability it takes to compete. Hope she gets healthy soon and wishing her the best mentally and physically

In both cases, she was walking with no crutches up to the day
of the surgeries. She did wear a brace on the knee, however

Plz don’t compare her to him. She wants to play

You are kidding I hope He is a two-time NBA champion, five time All-Star, and five time all NBA team. And for that, you’re going to throw shade at him? we can only pray that Azzi can become anywhere near the player and winner he has been.

 

[Huskiefan78]

Why? With no information and a dozen different types of knee injuries that are possible, why do you think that?

Why? The exact reasons referenced by others in here. The teams injury history the past two years, Azzi's personal knee injury history, plus the fact that swelling is still an issue 48+ hours later. It could be minor, but all three of those things do not paint an optimistic picture.

Take it for what it's worth

He’s some random dude from California

Let’s just wait for some news from UConn
