Washington State Star Charlisse Leger-Walker Out for Season Due to ACL Injury

Injury also sidelines Leger-Walker from New Zealand's Olympic qualifying quest, casting doubt on Cougars' Pac-12 title hopes.

Charlisse Leger-Walker, the star guard for Washington State, will miss the rest of the 2023-24 season due to an ACL injury suffered during a game against UCLA.
Leger-Walker has been a key player for the Cougars, leading them to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances and the program’s first-ever conference tournament title.
Her injury also removes her from playing with the New Zealand national team, the Tall Ferns, in their Olympic qualifying quest in China next month.
Washington State, already without starting Astera Tuhina due to injury, will now rely on freshman Eleonora Villa for backup ballhandling.
The loss of Leger-Walker likely signals the end of the Cougars’ Pac-12 title hopes for the regular season.
