Lauren Ware, Arizona center out for season with patella injury

Oh dear.  Are patella injuries common?  As bad as ACLs?  How horrible for Lauren. 

Probably means their 5 star freshman recruit Maya Nnaji will get a lot of time, but Arizona's depth in the post just took a big hit.  I'm getting worried that injuries are seriously harming both Oregon and Arizona and substantially weakening the Pac 12.

With WARE's season-ending injury, Arizona is down to 3 post players albeit very good ones - 
5th year 6'2 Care REESE, 5th year transfer from West Virginia 6'2 Esmery MARTINEZ and 
5-star freshman 6'4 Maya NNAJI.  I would imagine REESE and MARTINEZ averaging
30mins/game with NNAJI contributing 20mins/game. 

Similarly, PRINCE exiting from her collegiate career means Oregon is down 
to 4 post players - sophomore 6'8 Phillipina KYEI (member of 2022 Canada World Cup team)
freshmen 6'3 Grace VANSLOOTEN (McDAA and Jordan Classic participant) and
6'7 Kennedy BASHAM, and 5th year 6'2 Taylor HOSENDOVE.
