UConn’s Tarris Reed Jr. OUT vs. Arizona Due to Ankle Injury
UPDATE: Third-ranked UConn faces a significant blow as its leading scorer, Tarris Reed Jr., will be sidelined for their highly anticipated match against No. 4 Arizona tonight, November 1, 2023. Reed, who is also the team’s top rebounder, is dealing with an ankle injury and is classified as game-to-game, according to an official release from UConn.
This urgent development comes after Reed showcased an impressive performance, scoring 21 points and grabbing 8 rebounds in UConn’s recent victory over No. 7 BYU in the Hall of Fame Series at TD Garden, Boston. Averaging 20 points and 9.3 rebounds in just over 25 minutes per game, Reed has been pivotal to UConn’s success this season.
Reed’s absence is compounded by the ongoing sidelining of Braylon Mullins, the preseason Big East Freshman of the Year, who is also recovering from an ankle injury. Freshman Jacob Furphy is set to step in and will be available for tonight’s crucial matchup in Storrs, Connecticut.
This game is crucial not only for the standings but also for the morale of the team as they navigate key injuries early in the season. As fans eagerly await the action, the Huskies will need to rally together without their star player.
Stay tuned for live updates as the game progresses and the impact of Reed’s injury is felt on the court. The stakes are high for UConn as they aim to maintain their strong start against a formidable opponent in Arizona.
