Angel Reese, Caitlin Clark send prayers to JuJu Watkins after USC star's heartbreaking injury

The heartbreaking moment sparked a considerable amount of reaction across the sports world, with WNBA star Angel Reese being among those who shared a message of support to Watkins.

Watkins was fouled as she drove to the basket on a fast break around five minutes into Monday's game. Her right knee appeared to buckle on the play, which caused her to fall onto the hardwood. She remained on the floor for well over a minute and was in visible pain as she grabbed her knee.

Watkins put together an outstanding freshman campaign during the 2023-24 season, and her impressive performance continued this year. The Los Angeles native averaged 23.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.4 assists over 33 games this season.

Watkins averaged 27.1 points per game during her freshman year. Clark, the NCAA Division I all-time leading scorer across men's and women's basketball, is the only player to average more points than Watkins that season.
