Short bench/Walk-ons

60% of the season is done. How many get the dreaded "ou for season" injury at our gaurd spots this late? Mel Thomas comes to mind in recent memory (5+ years) for a guard that got hurt this late. That's it that I can remmeber this late. Beyond 5 plus years I think ti's a stretch to look an draw conclusions though you can say Shea of 13+ years etc. The later we go into the season- imo the less likely the injury. How many players get hurt in their 39th game, 38th game, 37th game etc? We're coming to the finish line. IMO good chance no "out for season" injury as of today.

Pretty much, with the one exception that if a player has a nagging injury this late in the season, that can impact matters, even if it's just that she will be kind of available in a limited way, which may not be good enough for a later round tourney game. I'm comfortable enough with 3 sure guard options (if Brianna isn't 90-100%) with also KLM sliding in at points in a game into a quasi guard role, but the questions about Banks' availability may remain for the next two months with an ankle that has made Geno grimace in press conferences.

Lets not tempt fate!! The basketball gods have a way of knocking you down just when you think you got things under control.

Fate tempted. Let's keep our fingers crossed for KML.

Bria's ankle, Brianna's ankle plus other ankle injuries.

I knew it as soon as I read that post that something was going to happen. I tried to appease the Basketball Gods but obviously it didn't work or maybe it did work by limiting KML to a minor injury instead of a serious one. We shall soon see.
