UConn Huskies women's basketball star Paige Bueckers to miss 2022-23 season after tearing ACL

UConn women's basketball star Paige Bueckers suffered a torn ACL in her left knee during a pickup game Monday and has been ruled out for the 2022-23 season.

I read this and I went “no, ESPN somehow screwed up and is running an old article“ and then I read it again, and then a third time before it finally sunk in. My heart really breaks for this kid. This has to be absolutely devastating for her.
 
Can KK finish her senior year by December and join us in January? Yeah, right.

Devastating! I may not be a UConn fan but I absolutely LOVE watching Paige hoop and WCBB definitely won’t be the same without her this year! Hoping and Praying for a successful and speedy recovery!

I really hope these Athletes stop with the pick up games or at least go 50% if you want to get a run in. One small game can end your career :(

Asking an athlete to play at 50% or not play with friends when its what they live to do, i couldn’t disagree more. Its just an u fortunate injury.

Same, except it was when I saw the tweet from UConn. Used to sports injury news being broken by Woj or Schefter or Passan or reporters. This one was presented so matter of factly but the news was so shocking that I was like, oh, that's not real, whew.

Feel awful for her but also teammates, coaches, fans. Been watching her since 8th grade back in MN and there's no one who's more fun to watch in college hoops, men or women, thanks to her floor game, passing, passion, defense, shooting, driving, the whole package. Being on the East Coast have loved having SNY to be able to watch most of their games and winter nights simply won't be the same this year. Full confidence she can come back with the way rehabs and medicine and surgeries work now in sports, but every time she stops or plants or jumps now there's always going to be a fear that it could happen again.
 
Oh God, if we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck.

It's not about just winning an NC, I really wanted to watch her play this season. She is such a joy to watch. I thought she would come back healthy, stronger and with a good supporting cast. She probably hasn't stopped crying since she went down. I feel so bad for her.

First of all, I’m devistated. :( Secondly, I hope Geno has a plan B, because plan A just went down and will go under the knife Friday. No Paige this season opens the door for whoever would have been the first or second player off the bench, to step up into a starting role. SMH...... Why us again? :mad:
