It's too bad that they have to play nearly year round to earn good money. The wear and tear on them has to begin to add up? I worry about this for all the players. I see that Sue Bird backed off this year to help herself in the long run. I hope Chiney's injury is only minor.

Surprised that JA has not reported that Stefanie Dolson has been sick and not played for her Russian team for the past 3 games.Has been out almost 2 wks.

 

[Beemer]

Oh poop.

Well at least she isn't trying to play on it. A lot of players would try to play through the pain despite medical advice.

She sounds OK on her Twitter page. Look at the zany pic with her purple hair though!

Yeah, I'm glad that EDD, Shoni and Skylar aren't playing overseas this year. They should all be well rested next WNBA season.

A "Special" get better soon to Chiney.
She might have played an important part in UConns future. I just cant elaborate on it.

Or would play on it through the foreign season, get surgery, and miss a chunk of the WNBA season. I can't blame them since the foreign money is good, but it's definitely better for Sun fans that she sits now.
