Paige Bueckers injury update: When will the UConn star return?

This story has been updated to reflect Paige Buecker's playing status.

UConn star Paige Buckers was injured during a January 5 matchup against Villanova. If you're here, you might wonder: When will she return to the court?

Here's the answer. It's uncertain when she will be back.

On Tuesday,  Huskies head coach Geno Auriemma explained that she has a knee sprain. Thankfully, there is no tear and her ankle, which was also thought to be injured, is fine. Bueckers "could return within a week," but her timeline for return is unclear. If she misses the next several days or so of action, that would likely be matchups against Xavier, Georgetown and St. John's.

UPDATE: Per the team, Paige Bueckers is expected to play Wednesday against St. John's.
