STORRS, Conn. – UConn women's basketball junior guard Caroline Ducharme will sit out for the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
Ducharme started UConn's first four games of the season. She was averaging 4.0 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.
Statement from Caroline Ducharme:
"I have been working tirelessly with my medical team to make a full return to basketball after sustaining head and neck injuries. It has honestly been a frustrating process with many ups and downs. At this time, the difficult decision was made to take a step back and not play the remainder of the 2023-24 season so I can focus on my recovery full time.
"I am guided by my faith, my family, my UConn coaches and teammates, and my medical team and am so grateful to have the support of everyone around me. I'm confident that this is the best decision so I can continue to play the sport I love at UConn and professionally.
"As hard as it is to be away from the court until the 2024-25 season, I'm always supporting my team and I can't wait to rejoin them on the court next season."
