Michala Johnson has surgery
The surgery on UConn incoming freshman Michala Johnson's right knee went well according to her high school coach.
Montini Catholic coach Jason Nichols said that the torn anterior cruciate ligament was repaired but there was no work needed on the meniscus because "they damage was not what they thought."
Johnson will begin her rehabilitation shortly and will likely finish up the rehab process up at UConn as she is planning to enroll at UConn for the second summer session in mid July.
Johnson, a 6-foot-3 forward, was averaged 18.3 points, 11.1 rebounds and 3.9 blocks before she suffered a season ending knee injury while making a spin move in a Jan. 12 win over Guerin Prep.
Johnson tore the ACL in her left knee in the season opener of her junior season and was diligent in her recovery process which is something that Nichols expected to be the case once again.
"If she works as hard as she did on the first ACL she will be just fine," Nichols said. "I think this will be all mental which I like because mentally Michala is one of the strongest kids I have been around. Nothing fazes her. She just gets it done."
