USC women’s basketball player JuJu Watkins returns to team practice after being sidelined for more than a year with a knee injury, according to reports from the Los Angeles Times and Yahoo Sports. Both outlets describe Watkins’ return as a significant step in her recovery. She speaks about feeling grateful and says she is “feeling back like myself,” reflecting on her time away from the court and her progress since the injury. The reports indicate that Watkins is rejoining USC’s practice environment, marking her latest milestone in her rehabilitation and return to basketball activity. Neither account provides detailed medical information, a specific practice schedule, or a confirmed timeline for a game return, but both frame the return to practice as the next phase of getting back to full participation. Overall, the coverage aligns on the core points: Watkins has been out for over a year due to a knee injury, she resumes practice at USC, and she expresses gratitude while describing her recovery.
