UConn freshman guard Brianna Banks, who missed Monday's game with North Carolina because of a head injury, returned to practice on Wednesday and should play on Thursday against Cincinnati.

Banks was hurt during Sunday's practice.

"I was dribbling down the court, slipped and turned around. That's when I took a knee to the head," Banks said in a statement released by UConn.

"I felt fine pretty shortly after and wasn't ever really worried."

Banks was encouraged by how she practiced on Wednesday.

"It went really well today.  I felt totally normal and was glad to be back out there."
