Thoughts and prayers for Nika one of my all time favorites!!!

Bald Husky · 2024-10-03T11:32:17-0400

OMG, I have never heard a reaction this bad. I am praying that it isn't worse than an ACL tear as if that is better. OMG

Scud49 · 2024-10-03T11:34:23-0400

Oh man, that's our Nika....so hard to listen to her in such pain....

Blond D. · 2024-10-03T11:36:33-0400

so tragic! Just when she gets back on the court, THIS happens. I'm sure a lot of her anguish was cuz she worked so hard and now shes out.
My heart bleeds for her.

Ozimoto · 2024-10-03T11:39:12-0400

Looked like a non contact injury. So sorry that this has happened to her. Thoughts, prayers, fingers and toes crossed. Heal well Nika!

Those are the worst kind.

Bigboote · 2024-10-03T11:52:40-0400

Awful. You know it's bad when Nika doesn't even try to get up.

ochoopsfan · 2024-10-03T11:53:51-0400

Hurts to see that.

I wish her the best and hope for the best and a speedy recovery.

FYI, Nika started the game and played all 27+ minutes before the injury
She had 11 points, on 4 for 10 shooting(3 for 4 from outside the arc)
9 Assists
3 rebounds
2 steals

I'm hoping it's just a dislocated kneecap. I had it happen to me and it was very painful and was carried off on a stretcher. It took me two months to be able to put some pressure on it, but about 6 months to walk without any pain.

EricLA · 2024-10-03T12:13:20-0400

So bummed for her. If it's an ACL and she's out for a year, it may spell the end of her WNBA career. She would miss all of next season, would have to work hard to get back even to the level she was, which was basically no PT on her team. She would have no opportunity to improve, and basically would be starting from scratch.

Given there would be 2 rookie classes coming to the W before she could come back in 2 years, the only hope would be that with the new expansion teams, there would still be a place for her. Couldn't be more devastated for her. It was a HARD Video to watch. Hearing her cry and scream "Oh my god" over and over was just hard to hear and watch. Devastated for her...

I hope I'm wrong, but I worry I'm not. Love and healing wishes and prayers it's not as bad as we fear...

When Shea went down it was that bad. Although I remember her screaming rather than crying. We were close by. Gampel was also very silent. Poor Nika, she is one of my favorites.

ted920 · 2024-10-03T12:18:28-0400

Hard to watch.
Feel for Nika.
Wishe her all the best and hope its not ligament related.

yhun89 · 2024-10-03T12:25:51-0400

Why.

Just why.

oldude · 2024-10-03T12:46:47-0400

Love that young lady.
Life isn’t fair…..

That can be worse depending on severity. It can damage cartilage and tendons.

huskeynut · 2024-10-03T13:00:54-0400

That was very difficult to watch/ listen to. Nika is one of my all time favorites.

I fear the dredded ACL tear. If so, I doubt she plays in the WNBA next season.

This shouldn't happen to such a wonderful young lady. But we all know life isn't fair.

Actually if it is her ACL, depending on how bad it was she could be back before next season is over. If she doesn't play next season she should be ready to go the following season which would be 2026.

MilfordHusky · 2024-10-03T13:40:58-0400

As we all know, Nika is very vocal. It may not be as bad as it sounds--fingers crossed.

She can get empathy from several current Huskies and former teammates.

Love and best wishes to our Croatian Sensation!
