Message: [QUOTE="UConnCat, post: 4004843, member: 15"] Interesting. in terms of when Nneka will be ready to play, she says she'll be ready in time for the exhibition game or no later than the Olympics. [I]"The plan from the beginning (of her injury recovery) was for me to be ready for the Olympics." [/I] I guess USA Basketball was supposed to assume she'd be ready. In any event, that eliminates any comparison with Taurasi who is back playing in WNBA games. USA BB has released both Chiney and Nneka from the FIBA restriction which would put matters before the FIBA Sec General. Nneka speaks to what the Sec General must find to grant an exception: [I]"I'm hoping it will contribute to the growth we're experiencing for Africa in basketball."[/I] Hope this happens for Nneka.
