Maize n Brew • • sports
Key Points:
- UConn guard Solo Ball is dealing with a foot sprain and wore a walking boot on Sunday, missing practice ahead of the National Championship game against Michigan on Monday night.
- Ball sustained the injury during the first half of UConn's Final Four win over Illinois but continued playing through adrenaline; his participation in the title game remains uncertain.
- Ball is UConn's third-leading scorer, averaging 12.9 points and starting all 38 games this season, making his potential absence significant for the Huskies.
- If Ball cannot play, senior Malachi Smith and junior Jayden Ross are expected to receive more playing time for UConn.
- The National Championship game will take place Monday at 8:50 p.m. ET and will be broadcast live on TBS, truTV, and HBO Max.
