Reserve forward/center Heather Buck injured her left ankle during UConn's practice on Thursday. Although the former Stonington High star and three-time New Haven Register State Girls' Basketball MVP said that her wearing a walking boot on her left foot and having crutches to help her get around was merely precautionary, UConn officials have confirmed that she suffered a stress reaction and is expected to miss a minimum of two weeks.

Buck appeared in all 28 games and averaged 2.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 9.3 minutes per game.
