Named Big East Preseason Player of the Year Demary (ankle) was named the Big East Preseason Player of the Year, according to The Field of 68.

Impact The departures of Alex Karaban and Tarris Reed, as well as the season-long absence of Solo Ball (wrist), will allow Demary to operate as the top option on offense for the Huskies. He averaged 12.8 points per game in 2025-26, but clearly, big things are expected of him in the upcoming campaign.

Big East Preseason POTY candidate Demary (ankle) is a candidate to be Big East Preseason Player of the Year, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Being a conference's Preseason Player of the Year often signals an excellent season for the student-athlete who earns said distinction. Rothstein stated that even with Demary's downs, he rose to the occasion in big moments, more impressive considering that his improvement was with powerhouse Connecticut. Alex Karaban and Tarris Reed both graduating, along with Solo Ball (wrist) out for UConn's 2026-27 season, allows freer rein for Demary next fall. He should improve his rates, his 2025-26 season's numbers featuring 12.8 points and 2.0 three-pointers made per game.

Returning to UConn Demary will return to UConn for the 2026-27 season, according to his personal X account.

Impact Demary, who suffered an ankle injury during the 2026 NCAA Tournament, will play the 2026-27 season in college, making him one of UConn's top players. He's coming off a 2025-26 campaign in which he averaged 10.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.6 steals across 39 appearances.

Will undergo MRI Demary (ankle) will undergo an MRI in a few weeks, according to Joe Arruda of the Hartford Courant.

Impact During the 2026 NCAA tournament, Demary played with a Grade 2 ankle sprain with three ligaments either partially or fully torn. For the time being, he will not undergo surgery, as a future MRI will dictate his recovery's next steps. Whilst laboring through ankle problems in the NCAA tourney, Demary logged 4.8 points while shooting 30.8 percent from the field and 21.4 percent from behind the three-point arc, clear downgrades from his usual statistical output. Demary's best contributions were in other areas, featuring 4.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals across five games.
