" [URL='https://www.si.com/wnba/2019/04/14/breanna-stewart-torn-achilles-euroleague-championship-game']WNBA MVP Stewart tears Achilles in EuroLeague game[/URL] Literally dozens of news sources reported it this way. But that doesn't make it so. According to Brittany Griner Stewie did it going up for the jump shot. "When you watch the tape, you see the pain in her face already when she went up," Griner said. "She couldn’t even come down on it. She immediately went to the other leg (left) to come down. That kind of made me feel better, but I went to the hotel and apologized to her, my bad for being in that area. "She said it's cool, it’s not you, it wasn’t your foot. I just checked on her and made sure she was in OK spirits as much as you could be after that. I texted her some after she got out of surgery. It just sucks that happened to her because not only is she missing WNBA, she’s missing another overseas season where we make the majority of our money."

BG is great in this article and talks about her love for Phoenix, D's injury and the super-max salary concept. An imbedded video of the incident in the article clearly supports this. Fool that I am I viewed it multiple times without seeing that it was Stewie's left foor that landed on Brit's ankle and her right ankle she grabbed! How it happened matters in the debate about year round play and wear and tear. Wear the tear (or sever) occured in the tendon matters too, particularly for the recovery, but I've seen no report of that either. Thanks to ken for pointing out the article. [/QUOTE]
