Paige Bueckers to return to UConn after injury

UConn star Paige Bueckers tore her ACL in early August, causing her to miss the entire upcoming 2022–23 season.

As the college basketball season approaches, fans begin questioning whether the junior will enter the WNBA draft at the end of the season, rather than return to continue her college career with the Huskies.

Bueckers was asked about her plans for the future on Thursday, during her first media session since the injury.

“I’m not leaving,” Bueckers said, via Hartford Courant’s Lila Bromberg. “I will be playing college basketball again.”
