While she’s super smooth on the court, JuJu showed off her super smooth dance moves off of it — just from a restroom. She was definitely vibing with the song. She’s got a small bandage on there but she looks just fine. Watkins has also been showing off more of her glam looks off the court as well like in these jaw-dropping fits, and the ones below.

Being in the spotlight is challenging, especially if you’re a young hooper expected to lead a massive program like USC, which has only grown since your arrival. However, head coach Lindsay Gottlieb says JuJu’s handling of all the expectations is commendable.

That remains UCLA's only loss of the 2024-25 campaign. Cori Close's group enters Saturday 28-1 with a 16-1 Big Ten record -- the same conference record as the Trojans. USC is 25-2 overall with losses to Notre Dame and Iowa.

What seemed like a scary moment in the first half turned out to be just a blip for the Trojans star in an 83-75 victory over Michigan State on Wednesday night.

Juju Watkins is still just 19 years old, but she has already become a massive cultural phenomenon both in Los Angeles and across the country. Last week, a mural of Watkins was unveiled in Downton Los Angeles.
