College basketball lost one of its biggest talents for the season Monday night after USC star JuJu Watkins was carried off the court after sustaining a season-ending knee injury in a win over Mississippi State.
Her injury did not look good, and it did not feel good. In the back of everyone’s mind, they knew what the injury was before it was announced.
Watkins’ injury sent shockwaves through the entire sporting world.
After seeing Watkins get carried off the court, several athletes, including Chicago Sky star Angel Reese, were quick to send Watkins their prayers.
“Prayers for Juju!” she said while adding a sad face and prayer hands emojis.
There was just one season of overlap between Reese and Watkins in the college game.
Reese was wrapping up her final season with the LSU Tigers, while Watkins was just getting started with the Trojans.
They never got the chance to face each other in college, but it will most certainly happen on a professional level.

JuJu Watkins and the No. 1 seed USC Trojans were looking for a championship season in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. However, it seems USC may have hit a pretty big snag in their March Madness run.
Watkins and USC hosted No. 9 seed Mississippi State Bulldogs in the round of 32.
After taking a 13-2 lead, Watkins was taking the ball up the court on a fast break midway through the first quarter when she collided with Bulldogs’ senior guard Chandler Prater.
One of college basketball’s top players went down in pain as she grabbed her knee on the ground before being helped back to the USC locker room.
The Trojans announced Watkins would not return to the game.
Hours later, it was announced that Watkins had indeed torn her ACL, and her season was finished.
