Message: [QUOTE="385nwct, post: 4371853, member: 11624"] Like everyone here I’ve been wondering what it’s going to take for Paige to avoid another injury and keep playing basketball, at UConn or elsewhere. This article from yesterday by Maggie Vanoni in CT Insider was really interesting: [URL='https://www.ctinsider.com/uconn/article/ACL-injuries-are-more-common-for-female-athletes-17384906.php']ACL injuries are more common for female athletes such as UConn’s Paige Bueckers. Experts explain why[/URL] A quote that jumped out at me: “[I]Bueckers is the fifth Husky on this year’s roster to have torn their ACL at some point in their young careers. Azzi Fudd, Caroline Ducharme, Dorka Juhasz, and Aubrey Griffin all suffered torn ACLs in high school. Caroline Doty, Shea Ralph and Sue Bird are among the notable UConn alums who have also been through ACL injuries early in their careers.”[/I] Didn’t realize that HALF of our roster this year has torn their ACL at some point!
