Arizona Wildcats redshirt senior guard Tee Tee Starks is undergoing left shoulder surgery Thursday and will miss the entire 2019-20 season, according to a UA spokesman.

The injury prevented Starks from making her season debut. She suffered it last season and played through pain the rest of that year.

Starks was originally going to leave the UA after graduating after the 2018-19 season, but changed course and opted to return for her redshirt senior season. The Wildcats were hoping she could offer her usual 3-point shooting and perimeter defense.

The Brooklyn Park, Minnesota native played in a career-high 34 games (16 starts) in 2018-19, making 43 percent of her 3s. She was arguably the team’s best defender as well.

Starks spent two seasons at Iowa State before transferring to the UA ahead of the 2017-18 season, which she sat out due to NCAA rules.
