Molly Davis suffers knee injury, but not season ending
IOWA CITY, Iowa — Iowa senior Molly Davis suffered an injury to her right knee cap against Ohio State on Sunday, according to Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder.
The 5-foot-7 guard is expected to undergo physical therapy next week to improve mobility for postseason play.
“While we feel for Molly that she got injured during Senior Day, we are so thankful that the injury she sustained is not season ending,” said Bluder. “Our program has appreciated everyone’s support and prayers as we look forward to her return at some point during the postseason.”
Davis is expected to miss the Big Ten Tournament where Iowa plays on Friday in Minneapolis, but Bluder said Monday on her radio show that Davis could play in the NCAA Tournament.
Davis has started 26 games this season, and is averaging 6.1 points, 3.1 assists and is leading the team in assist-to-turnover ratio at +2.51. The native of Midland, Michigan, has played pivotal minutes in every game this season for the Hawkeyes.
