USC star JuJu Watkins was carried off the court just five minutes into the Trojans’ second-round women’s NCAA tournament game against Mississippi State on Monday night because of an apparent right knee injury.
The team, in a statement at halftime, announced that Watkins was being evaluated by USC Keck Medicine staff and would not return to the game.
As Watkins drove to the basket on a fast break between two defenders, she was fouled and her right knee buckled as she planted her right leg, causing her to collapse to the floor. Watkins immediately grabbed her right knee and stayed down for over a minute.
