Bueckers says teammates returning from injuries may help her decide to play another year at UConn

Associated Press  

STORRS, Conn. — UConn star Paige Bueckers suggested Tuesday that she may return for another season if it means getting to play again with now-injured teammates, including Azzi Fudd and Aubrey Griffin. Griffin, a graduate student who suffered a knee injury in a win over Creighton last week, also has another year of eligibility remaining, should she wish to use it, coach Geno Auriemma confirmed Tuesday. UConn also lost expected starter Jana El Alfy to a preseason Achilles tendon injury, post player Ayanna Patterson to knee surgery last month and guard Caroline Ducharme to a concussion and neck issues. Bueckers has two more seasons of eligibility remaining after this one because of the coronavirus pandemic and the medical redshirt she took last season after suffering her second knee injury at UConn.
