Best we can hope for after 2 day process. God will want to see her play in the tournament. MN Bound.
 
Wishing Paige all the best in her recovery! Grateful for her that this was not season-ending and that she'll be able to play again in a couple months. While not the best-case outcome, it is certainly not the worst-case either and I'm sure everyone is thankful to hear that!

Wonderful news for us fans, if 6-8 weeks can be wonderful. And considering the circumstances, I bet Paige is happy with it, too. UConn would fight it's way into March Madness with or without the gift of Paige's return. And Paige is an unstoppable force of nature. So watch out world, when she's back.

Captain Obvious, here. One of the biggest trending topis on the internet today: Tibial Plateau Fracture.

I have no doubt that Paige will be an incredible bench support for this team as they embark on the next few months. The team appears to be so close that I can imagine the rest of them will be extremely motivated to play well in Paige's honor. I believe very much in the team's ability to step up and get it done for her and for the program.
 
Unfortunately, we’ll now see the difference from true die-hard UConn fans to the fair-weather fans moving forward. The team has been hit with the adversity bug, and depending on how some of the current injured players recover, will impact the team’s success in the near-term. Now is the time to throw full support behind everyone. Let’s hope they circle the wagon and each individual raise their level of play.

From a personal level, I hope Paige makes a full recovery and can back on the court to display her magic and seemingly universal appeal. While I will cheer on the team and players, I will be disappointed in not seeing her play because her style of play is such a joy to watch and her charisma is irreplaceable.

This sounds like a better outcome. Bones can heal. Ligaments have to be surgically repaired. Considering her age and condition healing should be complete. See you in March Paige. The bummer for her is she just went through so much rehab in the off season and now she will have more. She couldn’t have better support and facilities to help with that.
 
Not familiar with this type of fracture but a quick Google suggests that it probably was not a non-contact injury, it just didn’t get fully aggravated until what we witnessed. Maybe earlier in the game where she hit the deck several times. Meaning this situation.was probably going to happen fairly soon even if she was already out of the game. Hope for a speedy and not too painful recovery.
 
My 14 year old neice suffered this injury while skiing last winter. She was heavily restricted for 4 months, but everyone is different.

Looking on the bright side, this injury could have been far worse...........Over all UConn has been pretty lucky as far as injuries go over the past few years compared to some of their rivals...........I view this as a great growth opportunity for the rest of the team to step forward and play their best basketball while they await their teammates' return.........they'll certainly have a great cheerleader on the bench rooting them on..........
 
Wishing her a complete and speedy healing process! While there might be some bumps along the way the rest of the team will gain more experience during this time and when she joins the team again I bet you will be even better. UCONN won’t be a team anyone wants to see in March.
 
Good to hear that it wasn’t as bad as it could have been. The kid is going to make millions so I would say shut her down for the year, but Paige is not going to want to sit out. I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s back at the beginning of February. With SCs physicality, I would leave her out of that game

Now it time for EW and C to prove why they were one of the top kids of their classes.

So no surgery is needed correct?

The team and reports didn't say. Normally, such an injury is treated thru Arthroscopic Surgery, and not a major invasive surgery. Again, no official reports on what they are going to do with Paige's injury, so your "Guess" is as good as mine.
 
God Bless Paige We are gonna learn to play without her which will make us a stronger team. Griff Im hoping will be back soon and we should hear something about Azzi by the end of the week. This is going to be a new growing process for the team and a different road for this team to travel without Paige. With all things said, 6-8 weeks, and Im thinking look down the road in 8 weeks we have Tennessee and approx one month til the BE tourney. We have time to get back to full strength before the NCAAs and thats what really counts.

Pretty sure we know what to expect. The criticism from posters will continue to come, especially after a loss. The great thing about the Boneyard is if there is a post or thread you're not interested in, you can delete it forever, and move on. I've deleted a lot of threads I had no interest in. This to me is not good news. I was hoping for a better report. It is what it is. UConn has been pretty lucky avoiding the injury bug in recent years. We seem to have a rash of them this year. The team will have to go on without her. They might as well begin to get their minds right that things will be different the next 2 months.

Now the question is who will step up? 1 players, 2 players, 3 players? No more deferring to Paige for awhile. Adversity either builds character or reveals it. Let's see how the team (and the team leaders) responds to this unfortunate dilemma.

Get well soon Paige.
