Recovering from calf injury McNeeley is recovering from a calf injury, according to Joe Arruda of The Hartford Courant.

Impact According to David Borges of CT Insider, McNeeley suffered a calf strain during Connecticut's team practice Thursday. He was given a two-week timetable then, which sets him up perfectly to potentially return before the 2024-25 Huskies begin their regular season against Sacred Heart on Nov. 6. They have no more preseason games before then, but the freshman did log 10 points in an earlier exhibition against Rhode Island, so perhaps he could be well-adjusted if available.
