UConn women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma addressed the status of star guard Paige Bueckers following the ACL injury that sidelined her for the entirety of last season.
Auriemma described the 21-year-old as being at “90%” physically in terms of her recovery but indicated Bueckers is expected to be fully ready by the start of the season.
“If she’s not ready to go [by the start of the season], then I’m not ready to go. Let’s put it that way,” said Auriemma while speaking to reporters at his annual charity golf event in Hartford, Conn.
