UConn Star Paige Bueckers Cleared to Return After Yearlong ACL Recovery

Bueckers tore her ACL in August 2022 and missed the entire 2022-23 season.
Bueckers was the AP Player of the Year as a freshman but has missed significant time the last two seasons due to knee injuries.
UConn coach Geno Auriemma said Bueckers is now fully recovered and ready to play for the 2023-24 season.
Bueckers' return raises hopes that UConn can return to championship form after falling short of the Final Four last season.
Bueckers announced on social media that she has been medically cleared, nearly 370 days after her ACL surgery.
