Injury report

Aubrey Griffin has a chance to make her season on debut on Sunday if all goes well before then, according to Auriemma.

“She’s getting there. It's getting close. She did a lot more today than she has. So we'll see tomorrow,” he said. “Depending on how things go tomorrow, there is [a chance she can play].”

Griffin has missed the first 18 games of the season while recovering from a torn ACL that she suffered on Jan. 3, 2024. While she initially wanted to be back for UConn’s New Year’s Day matchup with Marquette, that proved unrealistic. More recently, the Huskies have targeted mid-January for her return.

Even if it’s not Sunday, Griffin will be back eventually.

“She's put a lot of effort, a lot of time, a lot of work, obviously, into doing all this, and she needs to be rewarded. Somehow, some way, she has to be rewarded,” Auriemma said. “I'm grateful that she's going to get an opportunity to give it a shot, anyway. Where it is at the beginning, I don't know. But I'm sure just putting your uniform on and running up and down is a is a big deal for her right now.”
