UCLA's Lauren Betts Misses Duke With Left Arm Injury as Availability Remains Uncertain

UCLA will seek imaging to set a timetable after the preseason All-American was hurt against Texas.

Overview

  • Cori Close said team doctors ruled out playing Betts against Duke and recommended rest.
  • Imaging upon the team’s return will guide her timeline and decide if she can face No. 14 Tennessee on Sunday at Pauley Pavilion.
  • The injury came on a play with TexasMadison Booker when Betts’ left arm buckled, sending her briefly to the locker room.
  • Betts returned in that Texas game but finished with a season-low eight points.
  • UCLA routed Duke 89-59 in the Players Era Championship third-place game in Las Vegas without Betts and is also without Timea Gardiner, with Sienna Betts listed day-to-day.
