What is the story on Alexis Silkwood? Any timeline on possible return?

I still have not heard anything on Silkwood and at this point I have no reason to think we'll see her this weekend. We go out west for one more weekend of multiple non-SEC games before conference play. 17 games in I'm wondering why we haven't seen her if it's a "slight" injury, which is the only thing I've heard. We play UCLA next weekend along with Cal-this&that. I'll be concerned if she doesn't play. I really wish she could get a few warm up games before SEC play.


We got another one in a few minutes against UCA
