The Connecticut Sun announced that former UConn star Morgan Tuck will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a torn ligament in her left knee.
"Obviously I am really disappointed,” Tuck said in a release. “But I plan to work extremely hard, and I expect to be back and ready to contribute next year.”
The Sun will be without Tuck and fellow rookie Rachel Banham, taken with the third and fourth overall picks in the 2016 WNBA Draft.
When the team returned to Connecticut I checked in with them to see what Tuck's status was and was told earlier this week that they didn't think it was a serious injury.
