Family of UConn women's basketball star Azzi Fudd opens up about injury, recovery and what's next

UConn women's basketball star Azzi Fudd is out for the remainder of the season with a knee injury. This is how she, and her family, are coping.

Had a feeling about this part -
"An MRI confirmed the season-ending news later that week. Doctors told Katie and Tim that Azzi’s right knee was probably already compromised after her injury to the same knee last year."

@HuskyNan (or anyone else) can you post again how to get around the pay firewall for this article? Thanks.

I have to admire the Fudds for continuing to come to UConn's game and root hard for the team even when their daughter can't play. Not a lot of parents would be able to do that.

These girls have the worse luck ! God bless Azzi and the team!

Really good article with great quotes from family. They’re transparent and honest about the mental challenges for both Azzi and family as they embark on another grueling rehab process. As shocked as we all were can’t imagine what her family thought when the call came in from her.

YES!! Watching the UCLA and Kansas games and seeing the Fudds at both games, they have my deepest respect. It speaks volumes about their character. They are there for the child and the program. They could have skipped the games knowing that their daughter is out for the season but they are there and deep! Gotta love that type of support.

Just for giggles I clicked on the address bar on my phone (that I believe is a way to get audio of the story) and the entire article appeared.
Isn't modern day technology great? Now if I could do something about that VCR clock that keeps blinking "12:00:00".

Kudos to the Fudds. A great family. Azzi and her brothers are very lucky.

I thought the same thing when Paige had her injury last year. I have seen my share of ACL injuries in female athletes and as much time as Azzi missed last year it just seemed more was going on that what was shared. With Paige the injury looked exactly like most of the ACL injuries I witnessed. Player stop and knee keeps going.

I'm so sorry Nan.

I feel so badly for my local girl. She needs to be persistent and patient, and I'm sure she will be. Best wishes to Azzi and her family!

Thanks. That worked for me too!

The Fudds are good folks. Sounds like Azzi has a good support system -- her family in addition to her team.

the instant the article starts to appear quickly tap your escape key 3 or 4 times. it will take a few tries to make it work.

Azzi sure didn't fall far from the tree. What a wonderful pair of parents she has. Adversity reveals character and they have plenty of it. They are fantastic ambassadors for the UConn program.

Perhaps I'm just another grumpy old man - and yet I wonder... When and how did it become common practice for good people to think nothing of circumventing paywalls? We value an article but don't see a reason to compensate the author or publisher for their work and expense. To my way of thinking this is a piece of the "Age of Entitlement" right here in our beloved Boneyard.

Hey, it worked. As far as circumventing paywalls, sorry, but I have no problem with this. Just me no doubt, but I don't feel "entitled" and I'm 77 years old. Finally, Maggie is the only person I'd do this for and, as usual, she hits it out of the park.

It probably goes as far back as passing around newspapers or leaflets instead of everyone purchasing them. There is a sense that information is part of the public domain and therefore commonly shared. Books, are little different in that there is a shared sense of value, probably based upon the length of time it takes to read them, but articles have always been either free or very very inexpensive and we're very often shared by the original purchaser. That remains the common mindset towards reporting.

Or was that just a rhetorical question?
