Azzi Fudd re-injured her right knee in UConn women’s basketball’s win over Georgetown on Sunday and will be sidelined for an unspecified period of time, the team announced on Friday.
Fudd was seen at practice with a knee brace and crutches on Friday, though Geno Auriemma said it’s simply a precautionary measure.
“I wouldn’t put too much stock in that brace,” he explained. “That’s more just to keep the weight off and keep to give it the best chance to heal.”
The silver lining is that Fudd did not tear any ligaments and will not need surgery.
