On Wednesday, UConn guard Andre Jackson Jr. suffered a fractured pinky finger on his right hand and underwent surgery to repair the injury.
It is unclear when the junior will be able to return to the court but he will be monitored on a daily basis by the UConn medical and athletic training staffs and his status will be re-evaluated in November.
“We will obviously miss Andre’s skill and experience on the court, but he will continue to contribute to the team with his tremendous energy and leadership,” head coach Dan Hurley said. “We look forward to getting him back in action as soon as he’s ready.”
The third-year player from Amsterdam, NY played in 33 games for the Huskies in 2021-22 and averaged 6.8 points, 3.1 assists, 6.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.2 minutes per game last season.
