Arizona's senior forward has 'a significant tear in her tissue,' will miss six months.
PJ Brown Special to the Arizona Daily Star While Arizona’s season ended Monday night in a 63-45 loss to North Carolina in a second-round game of the NCAA Tournament, there is still plenty to keep an eye on this offseason.“Cate will undergo surgery immediately, as she has a significant tear in her tissue,” UA coach Adia Barnes told the Star on Tuesday morning. “Cate wanted to play , and we knew she would not risk further damage to her shoulder if she did.
Reese dislocated her right shoulder in the Wildcats' Feb. 20 loss to Washington State in Pullman. The forward missed the UA's next three games — losses to UCLA and Colorado and a win over USC — before returning for Saturday's NCAA Tournament opener against UNLV. Wearing a neoprene brace, Reese scored 16 points against UNLV — one point shy of her Pac-12 season average of 17 — while playing 20 minutes. She scored six points, grabbed five rebounds and had two assists and a block in Monday's season-ending loss to North Carolina.
A United States government study of 50 NBA players with the same injury showed that players returned to play in an average of 3.6 weeks — right about the time that Reese returned.
