USC star JuJu Watkins suffered a torn ACL in her right knee during the second round of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament at Galen Center in Los Angeles on Monday. She will miss the remainder of the NCAA Tournament.

JuJu was driving to the basket when she went down and grabbed her right knee in the first half against the Mississippi State Bulldogs. USC confirmed her season-ending injury in a statement on Monday night. She will undergo surgery to repair the torn ligament in her right knee.

The Internet says Regina Jackson, mom of Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, put “roots” on JuJu because she doesn’t want her dating him.

On Friday, Regina went viral after she sat between JuJu and Jayden to separate them at the NCAA tournament. Click here for more on that story and watch the video below.

Despite being a sophomore and only 19, JuJu is often compared to Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark. JuJu was predicted to break Caitlin’s scoring record in college.

Former NFL MVP quarterback Cam Newton argued that JuJu is a better athlete than 23-year-old Caitlin.

“JuJu is a bigger baller than Caitlin Clark,” he said during a recent podcast. “I said it, and it has nothing to do with black and white, but the statistics say what everybody needs to be knowing. Juju is a better athlete than Caitlin Clark.”

“That’s not to say Caitlin Clark ain’t good because she’s fu**ing phenomenal,” he continued. “She’s been what the game has been missing, and I love that for her, but if I’m speaking facts, that’s what the facts is.”

Caitlin’s fans dragged Cam in the comments. They noted that he didn’t provide any facts to back up his statement that JuJu is a better athlete than Caitlin.
