This was reported on Facebook to be the translation of the press statement above.
It says that the UConn coach was in Spain attending the tournament from the beginning.
Jana is fortunate to be able to have the surgery arranged to be performed here so quickly.

The 23-24 season ends in 8 1/2 months. Short of some kind of medical and recovery miracle, I don't see any chance she plays this season.
Agree, absolutely no way. I suspect that even if she miraculously "could" medically, there is no scenario in which Geno would do it.

Guys, let's all relax. It's part of sports.. Jana hasn't played competitive basketball in maybe over a year. It was just a maucle spasm. Overall, injuries come with this game we love so much. Let's just keep on rooting for our team, regardless what happens in the future.
Never heard of a muscle spasm in that location. Dream on. Knowing the UCONN history, she is done for this year.

I don't know if Bri Jones will be rehabbing in Connecticut or elsewhere, but Jana could have no better mentor than her. Hard worker and a very positive spirit. Noticeably improved every year she's been playing (including her 4 at Maryland). Would it violate anything if they worked together? Very similar injury.

My heart and best wishes are with both of them.

Absolutely crushed for Jana and all of UConn Nation! Was so excited to see her this year especially after how great she has been playing in this tournament. When will this serious string of injuries end?

I wonder if Geno can find someone overseas like he did last year bringing in Ines after Paige got hurt. I know we have better depth this year, but wouldn't hurt to find another post in case god forbid we suffer another injury!

I've looked into this situation carefully, and have reached the following conclusions:
1. It's not about the poor kid who got hurt.
2. It's about us, the fans, who are clearly being victimized!
3. Someone is to blame here (someone's ALWAYS to blame!)
4. I don't know who that someone is, but I'm gonna find out, dammit!
5. Stay tuned...I'll let you know what my investigation reveals soon!

Absolutely would be okay but logistically tough. At the very least Jen may have Bri reach out and offer encouragement. I’m sure Stewie will do that.

Muscle strain/sprain? How did you get this information anyway?

Hope so. Stewie and AT are great examples of how to recover from this awful situation. I'm betting Breezy Jones and Jana both will come back strong also.

OK, the Gods are getting restless with us again. I think one of us has to sacrifice a goat or something.
It looks like Amari will have to help us this year. Before the injury, I didn't think her contribution was a critical think that we really needed. Wanted, but not overly needed.

The only good I can make of this situation is that Jana might stick around for an additional year which will help with a front court that needs size and talent in future years......:(

Do you have any evidence that any of those substances were used? If not, these statements and this speculation are very, very irresponsible. That's how false rumors begin and can take on credence if repeated over time. Please stop.

The NCAA would have to approve of an additional year, and I don't think our track record is too good there.

As an outsider, I agree. So many injuries for your players. Silcone injections are known to weaken ligaments/tendons and lead to tears later on. Could it be that in her case?
I assume you mean cortisone injections. I hope there are very few of that sort of cortisone injections given to any 18-year-olds for exactly that reason.
