Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4054010, member: 9844"] Since I presume we don't know when this injury happened, I guess there is a possibility that all of our guard/wings were affected at least somewhat by injury while playing last year. Clearly Anna and Nika had injuries that caused them to miss games and probably hampered them in others, and Paige continued to play with an ankle problem, Evina had minutes monitored in practice and clearly wasn't 100% recovered, and now possibly Christyn might have been playing with a problem, although this injury could have happened after the season as well. It seems like when an injury is significant enough to keep a player out of a game, we get more of an explanation, but if they can still play with it, little is said perhaps strategically to not let opponents know. I have no idea about the details with Christyn, but I hope and expect Nika will have a healthier year and be better as a result. Evina like many players coming off major knee surgery could be much better in the second year back. Paige presumably if fully recovered should be healthier than the last part of her freshmen year, when she played with a condition that would need fixing during the summer. Even Azzi's surgery may be recent enough that her recovery is not 100% yet. You could make a case for all of those players at least being modestly better this year because of health, but of course we have to hope that not many new issues pop up this year. [/QUOTE]
