Storrs, Conn./WTIC Radio - The UConn women's basketball team will be without star guard Azzi Fudd for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
Fudd suffered tears to the meniscus and ACL in her right knee during practice on November 14, the university announced.
The 21-year-old-year old is set to have surgery at a later date at UConn Health.
In the two games she played this year, Fudd averaged 11.0 points.
In a statement, head coach Geno Auriemma said "we’re all just so upset for Azzi. She worked hard to be healthy for this season, and it’s unfortunate when you put in a lot of hard work and have a setback like this. Azzi loves the game and works tirelessly. I’m confident she’ll rehab with the same work ethic and come back better than ever."
The Huskies next game is Friday against second-ranked UCLA in the Cayman Islands Classic.
