UConn guard Azzi Fudd will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season after suffering ACL and medial meniscal tears in her right knee, the team announced Wednesday.
Fudd suffered the noncontact injury last week in practice when, according to coach Geno Auriemma, she went up for a shot and afterward remarked that it felt funny.
She missed No. 6 UConn's past two games against Maryland and Minnesota, both wins, watching from the bench. «We're all just so upset for Azzi,» Auriemma said in a statement. «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.
