UConn's Paige Bueckers out 6-8 weeks with fracture

UConn sophomore women's basketball player Paige Bueckers will be sidelined six to eight weeks with a fracture in her left knee that she suffered Sunday.

The reigning Player of the Year had an MRI and CT scans Monday that revealed a tibial plateau fracture. Bueckers collapsed with 40 seconds left in the Huskies' 73-54 win over Notre Dame while dribbling the ball up the floor. She was carried off the Gampel Pavilion floor by two teammates.

"Obviously, we're all extremely disappointed for Paige and that she suffered this injury," Huskies coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement.
