Nebraska basketball guard to miss season with knee injury

A Nebraska women’s basketball player will miss the 2023-24 season due to a knee injury. Allison Weidner suffered the injury during a practice on Friday.

The Humphrey, Nebraska native suffered a season-ending injury last season after starting the first 13 games of the 2022-23 season. At the time of her injury, she averaged 13.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game.

Head coach Amy Williams expressed her heartbreak for Weidner’s injury.

“We are heartbroken for Allison because we all saw how diligently she worked to get back out there doing what she loves with her teammates. She is a warrior, and we know how hard she will work to meet this new challenge and overcome this new injury as well.”

Nebraska will open the regular season against Northwestern State on Monday, November 6.
