Southern California star JuJu Watkins announced on social media that she will be sidelined for the season after suffering an ACL injury in the NCAA Tournament last season. The USC junior was the AP Player of the Year last season after leading the Trojans to their best season in 40 years. Watkins became just the fourth player to win the award in her sophomore year. The AP started giving out the award in 1995, and Watkins is the first Trojans player to win it. The star guard isn’t eligible for the WNBA draft next year. A U.S. player must be at least 22 in the year of the draft or have graduated from a four-year school within three months of the draft to be eligible.
