UConn women’s basketball’s bad luck has continued through the holiday break. On Tuesday, Geno Auriemma told reporters on Zoom that Aubrey Griffin tested positive for Covid-19 while home and will miss the Huskies’ upcoming matchup at Creighton on Wednesday. She has not been around the team since falling ill, so no coaches or players were exposed.
Tuesday is Griffin’s fifth day after testing positive according to the coach, so while she may rejoin the team soon, it’s uncertain whether she’ll play in UConn’s game vs. Marquette on Saturday.
“She needs a couple of days when we get back,” Auriemma said.
