AUSTIN, Texas — Texas women's basketball junior Rori Harmon suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee on Wednesday and will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
The injury occurred in practice on Wednesday, Dec. 27.
"I'm grateful for the support of my teammates and coaching staff during this difficult time," Harmon said. "I also want to thank our medical staff at Texas for taking care of me. I'm heartbroken that I won't be able to play with my teammates this season, but I'm going to support them and be the best teammate I can be. We have big goals for this season and those are not going to change. We are going to come into the gym every day and work hard to achieve those goals. We have the best fans and will play hard for them and for each other."
"We are heartbroken for Rori and our thoughts and prayers are with her and her family during this difficult time", said Head Coach Vic Schaefer. "She has worked so hard to become in my opinion the best guard in the country, an All American. It is difficult to see a young person go through this. It is truly devastating. My heart is crushed for her. But this I know about Rori, she will attack this like she does every practice, every game and she will be back to her old self in no time. I know she will continue to be a great teammate and she will help her team in the coming months of the season".
