The status of UConn starting center Donovan Clingan remains uncertain ahead of Saturday's game between the fifth-ranked Huskies and St. John's.

UConn coach Danny Hurley said Friday that Clingan did not practice the past two days after leaving Wednesday's 75-60 loss to Seton Hall with a sprained right ankle. Hurley said the team is awaiting MRI results.

"He didn't have a ton of swelling, but he did have some pain," Hurley said. "He obviously wanted to go back in [on Wednesday] and then it tightened up on him. We'll see how he feels in the morning and then get the MRI scans."

The Huskies played the final 16:33 without Clingan, who left after scoring 14 points and grabbing seven rebounds. He went to the locker room and returned to the bench but did not play again.

For the season, Clingan is averaging 13.9 points and 6.3 rebounds.

UConn will be looking to extend its seven-game home winning streak on Saturday, which includes a 6-0 record this season.

Hoping for the best. Big man foot injuries are scary.

Inflammation peaks in 24 hours from the injury , so hopefully that is all it is. I saw him moving around very well on the sidelines so I’m guessing the MRI will be negative for any tears.

Out a month on the good side

i think he should shut it down for the year, and declare for draft.

He’s carrying around a lot of weight. Last year less than 15 minutes. This year they need 25 minutes from him. Maybe it’s too much. Really hope he can overcome this.
