Cat Ariail of Swish Appeal wrote that USC’s JuJu Watkins was expected to return against UNLV in Las Vegas on Monday, Nov. 2. Ariail listed the game for 4 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network. A pregame breakdown from USC Women’s Basketball Media Lab identified it as USC’s season opener at T-Mobile Arena.
Ariail reported that Watkins tore her ACL in the second round of the NCAA Tournament in March 2025 and had not played an official game since. On Nov. 2, that viewers could watch her return when USC takes on UNLV at 4 p.m. ET.
Ariail’s article and hoopHer’s post look ahead to the game. Neither documents Watkins taking the court against UNLV.
