KK and Ayanna injured

[GoUconn7961]

Apparently KK has a nasal fracture and Ayanna has a concussion. Wishing them a speedy recovery.

Let's hope K9 is good to go, or else we might see Kelis as the starter!! I had no idea KK was injured. I wonder how long she will be out with that injury and if she will wear a mask... Best wishes for a speedy recovery for both!!

Kelis as a starter? Seriously, have you started the New Year’s celebration a bit early? While I am happy with what I have seen of Kelis, there is no way she would or should start…even if K9 can’t go. Given that she wasn’t mentioned in the injury report I suspect all is well with her.

Good thing we have depth to cover these unexpected injuries!

I thought the game was a little rough. I don't mean the Butler players were misbehaving. But the speed UConn plays at might have yielded more awkward contact than some of the Butler players intended.

edit to add: apparently these injuries happened in practice. Now that makes more sense to me given how competitive practices can be.

KK has a broken nose and Yanna has a concussion. When will this kid catch a break??

 

[hoophuskee]

I love Patterson - that she is trying so hard. And this year we can see she is really back to or near her elite athleticism in h/s (that freshman year wasn't :her. but yeah she is really cursed.

Apparently, the Huskies are beating the hell out of each other in practice…….

 

[GoUconn7961]

I had already started a thread. Perhaps you want to merge them.

 

[Charliebball]

Sadly, that expansive roster is shrinking week by week........down to ten and possibly nine if Heckel doesn't play today.....☹️

 

[Dogdude]

Sounds like Heckel is available..give her 25 mins, Kellis get 15 with orders not to drive to the basket, but to get at least 6 assists.

Other thread said injuries were in practice.

Planning early to face coach Abe's Georgia team in the postseason, I guess. 🙃

I expect Blanca to get even more playing time today.........should be interesting.....

It's like a story in two parts... back in my Rugby days, this was a very common combination !

I don’t believe that Ayanna has reached her full potential. Not even close. I think that she has more athleticism in her tank and her injury set her back. Get well soon, Ayanna and KK.

 

[Urshurak]

Hoping for both to have a speedy recovery.

That being said, I change my prognostication. Providence by 10.


Just kidding!

I can see Azzi take over the point and Blanca start 2/3 with Ashlynn

KK has a broken nose? Where's Nika?

Sounds like the same thg people were saying abt KK in her freshman year, but its a good thg she didn't pay attention to tht negativity seeing tht she's leading all guards on the team in fg% (54.8) this year, and it not bcus she's shooting a lot of jump shots. And to top it off she's getting close to 5 assists a game. So where are those critics now?.......crickets.

Remember when Nika fouled out against Notre Dame and the whole team hit a wall. Everybody learned how valuable Nika was to the team’s success. Hard to measure intangibles. And tangible things like an opponent’s point guard having to deal with KK every possession. I think we’re going to see a drop off. Hoping not.

 

[DEpup]

That must have been quite a collision in practice between the two of them.

Yes, please don't encourage players to attack the basket.

Wishing a nice, speedy recovery to both of them. ❤️ I am glad that KK "only" has a broken nose.
