UConn guard Solo Ball's shooting performance has been hampered by a wrist injury that has led to a decline in his performance. Ball, known for his 99 3-pointers in a single season at UConn, has been struggling this season due to a 15-day stretch in December where he landed awkwardly on his wrist against Butler and sat out against DePaul and re-aggravated the injury during a game against Xavier. Despite this, Ball has been managing the pain and managing his wrist injury to manage it. He is currently shooting just 29% from 3-point range this season, far below his 41% threshold a season ago. His scoring average has dropped 3.7 points and he's shooing 7.1 percentage points. Despite these struggles, Ball remains a valuable player for the team.
