JuJu Watkins’ injury sends shockwaves through Galen Center, basketball world

Swanson: JuJu Watkins’ injury sends shockwaves through Galen Center, basketball world. What rotten fortune all around, that the best college player in the country – and the coolest – was ousted from the NCAA Tournament not by an upset but by injury. LOS ANGELES — The grimace we hadn’t seen before. Like JuJu Watkins’ silky Euro steps and her 50-point banger and ridiculous scoring stats – 1,000 collegiate points faster than anyone in history – it was something new. But a grimace like this, no, we hadn’t ever wanted to see. We won’t be able to unsee. Watkins’ right knee crumpled beneath her as she drove with 4:43 to play in the first quarter of the top-seeded USC women’s basketball team’s 96-59 second-round blowout of No. 9 Mississippi State on Monday night at the Galen Center. Immediately, Watkins grabbed her right knee. And grimaced. It was awful. Sickening. Devastating. #jujuwatkins #injury #usc #women #basketball #juju #galencenter #game #sports juju watkins injury usc women's basketball juju kiki iriafen usc juju watkins injury usc juju watkins injury update usc vs mississippi state women's basketball ju ju watkins injury usc trojans women's basketball juju injury usc wbb usc womens basketball usc basketball women what happened to juju watkins juju watkins update usc womens andraya carter usc score juju watkins knee injury usc game juju watkins injury report kiki usc juju watkins acl juju watkins hurt
