Aubrey Griffin’s season-ending ACL injury proves just how cruel sports can be

The injuries the Uconn Huskies women’s basketball team has sustained this season seem unreal, but things are worsening. Aubrey Griffin is out for the season with a torn ACL.

On Tuesday, Paige Bueckers was asked about staying another year at UConn. She jokingly said that head coach Geno Auriemma likely wants her to play another due to the injuries that have piled up during the season. Despite her light demeanor, the reality of wanting more time with her teammates was something Bueckers hinted at when also asked about possibly moving on to the WNBA.

However, Bueckers’ decision may not get any easier because things just got way more complicated for UConn. Senior Aubrey Griffin, who had been out indefinitely since January 3, is now out for the season.

Griffin’s injury is the 4th season-ending injury for the team. When asked about Griffin’s injury just days ago, Auriemma was heartbroken.

We are sending thoughts and good vibes to Uconn women’s basketball.
