University of Southern California basketball star JuJu Watkins was carried off the court Monday night and did not return after she suffered an apparent injury during the NCAA Tournament.
Grimacing, Watkins writhed in pain and held her right knee after she fell during a fast-break attempt with 4:43 to play in Monday’s first quarter against Mississippi State in the tournament’s round of 32.
USC quickly announced that Watkins would not return to play after she was evaluated by the team’s medical staff.
