STORRS, Conn. – UConn women's basketball junior guard Azzi Fudd will miss the remaining 2023-24 season after suffering a medial meniscal tear and an anterior cruciate ligament tear in her right knee.
Fudd's injury occurred in practice last Tuesday, Nov. 14.
Fudd will have surgery at UConn Health at a later date.
Statement from Head Coach Geno Auriemma
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. We'll obviously miss her presence on the court, but Azzi will continue to be a great teammate and important part of this team this season. Our program will support Azzi through her recovery however we can.
