Betts out with right foot injury for top-ranked UCLA
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Lauren Betts isn’t playing for top-ranked UCLA against No. 22 Michigan State because of a right foot injury.
The Big Ten’s second-leading scorer sat out Sunday’s game at Pauley Pavilion and was wearing a boot on her foot. It's the first game Betts has missed this season. The 6-foot-7 starting center is day-to-day.
Betts had her 13th double-double of the season with 18 points and 13 rebounds in a 71-60 loss to sixth-ranked Southern California on Thursday. The defeat snapped UCLA’s 23-game winning streak.
She is averaging 19.5 points and 9.9 rebounds.
