Many of the injuries suffered were torn ACL or other knee injuries.  Women, because of there physiology are much more prone to knee injuries.  Depending on the study it's anywhere from 2x to 8x more likely to suffer a serious knee injury than men.  They have less stability in the knee and their lower center of gravity puts more strain on it.
When you combine this, the stress of head injuries especially concussions and the fact that the elite women recruits are playing year round basically, there will continue to be more news about injuries.  It's like the rash of tommy john surgeries in baseball with high schoolers and college players.
The positive is that like tommy john surgery, many injuries that were career enders just 20 years ago, some even 10 years ago, are much more less likely to kill a career now.
I think Geno, like the fans, are just bummed because it would have been something to see a healthy Paige, Azzi and Senechal on the court together.
