First of all the team has not been 'completely devastated' by injuries this season. They lost a kid who wasn't going to see many minutes in El Alfy and if you thought Azzi was going to make it through the year without missing any time then you were flat out delusional.
She clearly has a compromised physiology insofar as her knees are concerned-this is now TWO non-contact ACL tears within, what, 5 years? She unfortunately reminds me of her mom who was also a prolific prep talent and collegiate performer but whose future was compromised by-you guessed it-chronic knee injuries.
As they say folks, the best predictor of future injury is......wait for it.....a history of injuries. This was entirely foreseeable as an outcome, if not the term then certainly the occurrence.
Geno has four freshman and two sophomores that will now need to play a TON for this season to not run completely off the rails. And he might want to think about encouraging Fudd to think about a medical retirement because it's pretty clear her body just isn't going to hold up to the rigors of college basketball much less the WNBA.
(Oh, and pro tip-it might be time to stop double shifting Bueckers and concede a few L's in the name of keeping her healthy for the post season).
