UConn just put out a statement (on Twitter/X) from Caroline Ducharme that she is stepping away for the rest of the season to prioritize her health. Can't say I'm surprised, she's struggled a lot with head and neck injuries and those aren't easy to deal with in the best of situations, let alone competitive D1 basketball. I kind of figured she was taking the rest of the season off anyway, but it's good to see the announcement to put all the speculation to bed. She's a great player, but truthfully it became apparent after a while that her injuries were really hampering her ability to play on the court. Hopefully with a good long break she can recover completely, regardless of whether or not she decides to return to basketball next season.
