Does anyone know if any information has been released
regarding her timetable for conditioning and practicing since her doctor’s visit? (Sunday?)

Meanwhile, Paige Bueckers met with UConn’s team doctors and her surgeon on Sunday, Feb. 6 to formulate a plan for her recovery after undergoing left knee surgery in December. Though she still wears a brace on the bench, Bueckers is slowly working her way back.


“She’s been doing more and more things every day. She’s running more. She’s doing more basketball stuff on the court, but it just doesn’t involve a lot of cutting. So it’s more just standstill or just moving this way,” Auriemma said. “Each and every day, there’s something that we try to add.”

While Bueckers hasn’t suffered any setbacks, there’s still no timetable for her return. Auriemma does believe she’ll be back this season, though.

“I asked her yesterday I said, ‘When are you going to play?’ and she said, ‘When I’m ready.’ I said, ‘When are going to be ready? She said ‘I’ll let you know when I’m ready,’” Auriemma relayed. “Athletes know their own bodies. They know when they’re ready.

“Do I think she’s gonna play this year? I do,” he added. “I really do. I’m not just hoping either. I think she’s going to play.
