Just before the 2022-23 season was about to start, Bueckers suffered from an ACL tear in her left knee, which resulted in UCONN playing without one of its most crucial players. But that’s the past now. Bueckers is now back to the court after 1.5 years.

The star guard has to deal with pressure

In an interview at the BEC Media Day, Bueckers was asked about the pressure after being named ‘Preseason Player of the Year.’ In her response, she said, “Honestly, it’s just a lot of pressure to play at UCONN, I mean the expectations are high. I feel like I’m putting a lot of pressure on myself to just come back and be the best version of myself I could be. It means a lot to be the preseason player of the year, but truly it means nothing cause you got to go out there and prove it. But I’m blessed and I’m grateful and I’m excited to be back on the court.”
