STORRS, Conn. — UConn star shooting guard Azzi Fudd will miss Thursday's game against No. 20 Maryland due to a knee injury.
On Thursday afternoon, officials announced that Fudd was ruled out because she suffered a knee injury in practice earlier this week.
It's unclear the severity of her knee injury as she will undergo testing.
Fudd, a former national high school player of the year, tore the ACL and MCL in her right knee while in high school. She also missed 10 games with a foot injury during her freshman season and 22 games because of knee injuries during her sophomore campaign.
Fudd's injury comes after the return of another UConn star, Paige Bueckers, who missed all of last season and 19 games during her sophomore campaign with knee injuries.
UConn's starters during the first two games of the season, all upperclassmen, had played just 14 games together before this season because of various injuries.
Fudd has averaged 13.1 points in the 42 games she has played for UConn.
