JuJu Watkins was carried off the ground within the first quarter of top-seeded Southern California’s sport in opposition to Mississippi State within the girls’s NCAA Match on Monday night time. Watkins won’t return to the sport, USC introduced in a press release.
Watkins was driving to the basket when she went down between two Bulldogs defenders with 4:43 remaining. She grabbed her proper knee with a pained expression on her face.
The gang in Galen Middle went silent as coach Lindsay Gottlieb and two different USC staffers attended to Watkins, a 6-foot-2 sophomore who averages 24.6 factors and is without doubt one of the largest stars within the girls’s sport. She was carried off the courtroom by a number of folks and the sport went to a media timeout with the Trojans main 13-2.

There has already been an outpouring of assist for Watkins on social media from athletes and different personalities, together with WNBA star Angel Reese.
