STORRS, CT. (WFSB) – UConn men’s basketball guard Solo Ball will medical redshirt for the 2026-27 season, the university says.
Ball will undergo wrist surgery. He is set to return for the 2027-28 season for the Huskies.
“Solo is a true Husky and a champion who would do anything to be out on the court,” said UConn Head Coach Dan Hurley. “This guy has shown throughout his career what a warrior he is. Solo is going to use the season to get his wrist fully healthy and then come back next year as one of the best guards in America while cementing his legacy as an all-time great at UConn.”
The junior has earned two Second Team All-BIG EAST and NABC First Team All-District honors. He has averaged 13.6 points per game over the last two seasons.
He ranks 10th in program history with 199 career three pointers and is 44th on UConn’s all time scoring list.
