Storrs, Conn./WTIC Radio - UConn junior guard Solo Ball will have wrist surgery and miss the entire 2026-27 season.
The university says Ball will take a medical redshirt and return for the 2027-28 season.
The 6-4 Ball averaged 12.8 points per game this past season in helping to lead the Huskies to the Final Four where they fell to Michigan in the title game.
Ball has earned a pair of Second Team All-BIG EAST and NABC First Team All-District honors during his time in Storrs.
“Solo is a true Husky and a champion who would do anything to be out on the court,” head coach Dan Hurley said. “This guy has shown throughout his career what a warrior he is. Solo is going to use the season to get his wrist fully healthy and then come back next year as one of the best guards in America while cementing his legacy as an all-time great at UConn.”
