We now know the extent of Allison Weidner's injury.

The talented Husker guard did not make the trip to Piscataway Sunday to face Rutgers. The Husker Radio Radio noted that Weidner was hurt in practice Saturday.

According the Nebraska women's basketball notes for the upcoming game at Iowa, Weidner is out for the season.

This is the third consecutive season to get cut short for the Humphrey, Neb., native. She played in 15 of Nebraska's 16 games this seasons and scored a season-high 11 points with six assists in Nebraska's 85-80 upset of Michigan State.

As a sophomore during the 2022-23 season, Weidner averaged 10.2 points and 6.2 rebounds through 13 games as a starter for the Huskers, before suffering a left leg injury early in the fourth quarter of Nebraska’s triple-overtime victory over Kansas a few days before Christmas. She was on track to return to the Big Red before the 2023-24 season but suffered a right leg injury during an October practice.
