Nika this morning!

[schmendrick]

!!!!

 

[pvdoggy]

That is one tough cookie, but I can't see her playing much if any today.

 

[kteach]

I am so happy to see that. She is much needed!

 

[LarryLegend]

!!!!

i saw it, and i still don’t believe it

 

[Kaizen]

She looks so sweet smiling. So nice to see that she looks OK.

 

[Scud49]

Wow, that makes my morning - Ms. Pepper back on the court...!

 

[Kaizen]

 

[Topsail]

Appears to be walking gingerly on it...at least it is not a high ankle sprain...rest & tx today... maybe tomorrow ...need her for the NCAA s

 

[veryolddog]

That is one tough young lady. She can be in My Marine Corps. No sissy there.

 

[browns]

Wow I'm shocked..Great to see..hope they rest her today though

 

[Golden Husky]

She is so sweet. So nice to see that she looks OK.

"Sweet?" You're going to ruin Nika's image, @Kaizen. . Nika has found her niche. She's Ripley ("Alien/Aliens"), the ultimate hard ass, a no-nonsense vengeance defender with an indefatigable will and determination to help her team.

 

[Charliebball]

as much as she will insist she is ready to go I'd keep her locked down to that bench for this game............no need to injure it further..............

at minimum the ligaments are weakened and ripe for another ankle turn.

Agree-I like seeing that it wasn't a season ending injury, which I thought for sure it was.

Geno better be ready for another Paige-type reaction to being pulled off the court.

 

[hart2hart]

Bigboote- You just made me chuckle!
Paige 30 points today!
Stifling defense on Maddy S!

 

[RedStickHusky]

Warrior; if I'm Geno, I tie her to a chair for today anyway...

 

[eebmg]

Well, she is a 10

 

[RedStickHusky]

That shiner is so bad *$$.

 

[oldude]

Ice it down. Tape it up. No big deal. Nika is one tough Croatian. Glad she’s on our team. 😀

Rub some dirt on it -- old school.

Spit on it. Really old school.

 

[eebmg]

Well, I hope she sits out the BET. Let others on our team pick her up. Not worth the risk imo. Get her 100 % for the NCAA's

 

[Ozimoto]

I am very surprised to see that. I was concerned it was a high ankle sprain or worse where she was grabbing it after she went down. Hope she takes the time to let it heal. I don't want a KLS repeat where a sprained ankle (it that's all it really was) ended up requiring surgery after she continued to play on it.

 

[rt bb fan]

Wow. No way I thought she wouldn't be in a walking boot after I saw replay of injury. She was in so much pain and banging her fist on the floor!

 

[Cornell Lt]

I'm shocked but really glad to see her walking around, She's one tuff cookie for sure.

 

[connboy77]

She gives a new meaning to the word tough! Most other players would be finished for the season!

 

[Longtime fan]

What a lovely way to greet the day. I hope she isn't on the court until Madness, however. Just to be sure.

 

[Zinethar]

There are two types of people in how they react with an injury (not of the various severe types). Those who can not get beyond the pain and beat the floor because they are in pain and those who beat the floor because they don't want to be taken out of the game and let their team down. Both are in pain. From what I have seen Nika, Paige, and Evina all appear to be the latter type of player.

Yup.
