Where is Moriah Jefferson? Any Updates?

[Fairfield Fan]

Can BY'er's update me/us with what's happening with Moriah? Can't find anything recent.....

Rehab?

 

[Hayven]

It was rumored she was unhappy with the trade to Dallas, and therefore, will be sitting out because of it

I thought this was going to be a thread similar to "Where's Waldo"!!! Apparently I'm wrong

 

[Plebe]

This was one rumor, but I doubt this is it.

Someone else tweeted that Moriah felt her body needed a break from the rigors of year-round play. This I find more credible.

Latest thing I can find and it is not much.

Moriah Jefferson WNBA Stats & News

Predicted back on roster by end of June, but it is July 13.

My assumption but since the Wings are so bad, maybe she’s getting healthy

 

[Carnac]

Last I heard, she was not happy about being sent to the Wings, even though the arena is only about 18 miles from her Glen Heights home. She must have really liked and embraced Las Vegas. I read that she was rehabbing an injury, and that (as another poster said) she would continue to rehab in Texas.

She was one of the official spokesperson's for the team players when they originally moved here. Many people loved her both as a representative of the Aces and as a person. I believe that she wasn't what Lambier wanted as a point guard and when he took over the team she had a very serious knee injury and didn't get a chance to show what she really has. I hope that she gets better and becomes the player that makes Lambier wish that he hadn't had traded her.

She’d be foolish to rush her return. The season is already half over, and the Wings as of today are 5-10, tied with Atlanta in the basement for the worst record in the league, and not in contention to make the playoffs.

She suffered her injury overseas. That’s probably where she’ll stage her return. She should be very close to 100% by then.

 

[RSHERMVIKES]

In 2 of Dallas's home games she was sitting behind the Dallas bench in normal dress watching the game!
Announcers said she was rehabbing several injuries the worst a knee injury!

 

[Fairfield Fan]

I thought she had already rehabbed her injury from last year, and was ready to play. I, too, had read that she would sit out in protest of her trade. But so few updates. I wonder whether that "suspended list" was all about her refusal to play in protest of her trade. Were other things going on? If she were injured and rehabbing, then she wouldn't, I presume, be on a "suspended list," but on some injured list.

The WNBA is awful about keeping us up to date about what's what. She's a star player and former NCAA national champion. Her absence is troubling.

Mo was hurt in the last game she played overseas. I think that's the pertinent injury.

I will always love Moriah Jefferson.... loved watching her play....

I hope she contributes soon and is injury free in professional ranks

So was the "sit out" threat a non-factor in her not playing? Just curious.

It would be nice if a local sports writer or the Wings beat writer would do a feature article on her that would update Moriah’s fans and team fans on her progress and the prognosis of her return. If written correctly, it would make a very timely and interesting read, and we would not have to speculate about her physical condition or the proximity of her return.

I'll be excited to see her back on the court, but not until she's 100% healthy and ready to go.

This is the latest news I could find. As of June 15, she was supposed to be back no later than mid-July.
