Nearly two weeks after receiving good news about a player’s status for the upcoming season, the Ole Miss women’s basketball team received bad news for another.
The school announced redshirt junior Andeija Puckett will miss the 2020-21 season after suffering a knee injury that will require surgery to repair multiple torn ligaments.
The news comes after Puckett sat out last season after transferring from Cincinnati, where she played two seasons with the Bearcats. She averaged 4.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and one block per game during her time at Cincinnati.
“I am extremely saddened by the news on AP,” said Ole Miss head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin.
