缺席589天后复出：南加州大学女篮明星 JuJu Watkins 重返赛场
美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶（Los Angeles）市，南加州大学女篮明星 JuJu Watkins 11月2日重返赛场，这是她589天以来首次参加大学篮球比赛。复出首战，南加州大学对阵内华达大学拉斯维加斯分校，比赛于美东时间11月2日下午4时开球，由 CBSSN 转播。
Watkins 在2025年NCAA锦标赛中右膝前交叉韧带撕裂，不仅终结了球队当季的争冠之路，也让她缺席了整个2025-26赛季。她是2025年 Wooden 奖与 Naismith 年度最佳球员奖得主；她缺阵的上赛季，南加州大学取得18胜14负，新生 Jazzy Davidson 拿下全国年度最佳新生奖。
如今 Watkins 率领排名全美第三的南加州大学冲击全国冠军，同城对手 UCLA 是卫冕冠军。主教练 Lindsay Gottlieb 表示，Watkins 如今「更强、更快，处于生涯最佳状态」，但球队会谨慎安排她的出场，听从医疗团队关于分钟限制的意见。Watkins 赛前表示自己可能会有些激动：「我想赢球的心思没变。我没有丢掉信心，也没有丢掉对细节的专注。」

JuJu Watkins Returns for USC After 589 Days Away From College Basketball
In Los Angeles, California, USC women's basketball star JuJu Watkins returned to the court on November 2, playing a college basketball game for the first time in 589 days. Her first game back came against UNLV, tipping off at 4 p.m. ET on CBSSN.
Watkins tore the ACL in her right knee during the 2025 NCAA Tournament, an injury that ended USC's title run that season and kept her out for the entire 2025-26 season. She is the 2025 winner of both the Wooden Award and the Naismith Player of the Year award; in the season she missed, USC went 18-14 while freshman Jazzy Davidson won National Freshman of the Year honors.
Watkins now leads a USC team ranked No. 3 in the nation in pursuit of a national championship, with crosstown rival UCLA as the defending champion. Head coach Lindsay Gottlieb said Watkins is "stronger, faster, in her best shape ever," while adding that the staff will be intentional about her minutes and listen to the medical team. Watkins said before the game that she might get emotional: "I still want to win. I haven't lost my confidence. I haven't lost my attention to detail."
