UConn star Paige Bueckers is expected to miss between six to eight weeks after an MRI revealed a tibial plateau fracture, the team announced Tuesday.
Following the non-contact injury, she had to be carried to the bench by two teammates.
"Obviously, we're all extremely disappointed for Paige and that she suffered this injury," coach Geno Auriemma said in a statement Tuesday. "It would be really hard to describe how much basketball means to Paige and how much her teammates mean to her.
