Southern California standout forward JuJu Watkins left the No. 1-seeded Trojans’ second-round matchup with Mississippi State in Los Angeles on Monday midway through the first quarter after falling to the floor on a breakaway.
Watkins, the nation’s second-leading scorer at 24.6 points per game, grabbed her right knee and writhed in pain before trainers tended to her. She was helped off the court, avoiding putting weight on the injured leg. She had three points, two assists and one rebound before exiting.
“JuJu Watkins is being evaluated by USC Keck Medicine staff and will not return to competition in tonight’s NCAA Second Round game,” the university said in a statement released at halftime.
Watkins’ Trojans teammate, Malia Samuels, also left Monday’s game to be checked for a concussion after being hit in the head. She returned to the sidelines shortly thereafter.
