A second straight Sweet 16, is not that sweet for the Trojans! Despite a blowout win over Mississippi State Bulldogs 96-59 win, a USC star player had to leave the court. JuJu Watkins suffered a knee injury with 4.43 minutes left in the first quarter. The worst news was that the 19-year-old was carried off with the help of the supporting staff. Seeing this, the who’s who of women’s basketball chimed in supporting the star guard.
“The hoops community sending love to Juju Watkins after her injury .” The Just Women’s Sports on X added a photo of the California native in the arms of support staff as she was avoiding any pressure in her leg. Along with the photo were the tweets from several top women athletes including Angel Reese. The Chi-Town Barbie added, “Prayers for Juju! .” Apart from the LSU alum, another LSU star, Flau’jae Johnson, kept the rivalry aside and sent prayers for the Trojans star.
“I pray juju okay hate to see it.” Former Gamecocks alum and current Fever star, Boston wrote, “Prayers up.”
