Nika out tonight (Monday)

I think you can see her at 0:10 in the video sitting on the right edge of the video to the right of ONO. Looks like a big black boot on her right leg.

She was actually moving her foot

Hope for a win tonight and then some super healing in the next 4 days

In thinking about the lesser of two evils, if there is a game she needs to sit out, this is it. Syracuse due to injuries has more front court players than guards so a heavy dose of Aaliyah is in order!

Edwards starting in place of Nika.

Big blow. Hope its not a high ankle sprain. If it is, she wont be near 100% for at least a month. Title chances go down without her.

CD postgame saying she’s hopeful Nika might play against Iowa but that’s not official. So atleast it’s not a “she’s done for the tournament” injury

I wouldn't count on her being back for the Iowa game. Sprained ankles are no fun (speaking from personal experience) and each time you sprain one, it takes longer to heal. Fortunately it's not the same ankle that she sprained in the BE tournament, but this one seemed to be more serious from the way she reacted and from the fact she is in the walking boot.
