Camara, a sophomore, transferred to UConn from Kentucky in May.

She is expected to be fully recovered in time for pre-season practice in October, a team spokesman said.

Camara will be forced to sit out the 2016-17 season due to NCAA transfer rules but will have three years of eligibility remaining, beginning in 2017-18, the team said.
