What was once thought to be a minor injury, mere swelling around the knee, has turned out to be a season-ending injury for forward Lauren Ware. Arizona women’s basketball announced on Friday afternoon that Ware would undergo surgery that will keep her out of the entire 2022-23 season.
Ware suffered a dislocation of patellar dislocation in her right knee on Dec. 9, 2021 just 26 seconds into a game against North Dakota State. That injury kept her out of four games last season, but she eventually returned to the Wildcats on Jan.
