As a devoted fan of the Connecticut Sun, I can’t help but feel a pang of disappointment following their heartbreaking loss to the Minnesota Lynx. However, my concern extends beyond the outcome of the game, as the injury suffered by Marina Mabrey casts a long shadow over the team’s future prospects.
Yesterday, the Connecticut Sun concluded their WNBA season with a loss to the Minnesota Lynx in the semifinals, following a 88-77 defeat. Prior to this match, both teams were tied at 2-2 in the playoff series. Unfortunately for the Sun, they also had to deal with an injury that forced Marina Mabrey, their 28-year-old shooting guard, out of the game during the course of play. However, the exact nature of Mabrey’s injury is not yet clear.
Here are all the available details regarding the seasoned basketball player’s latest ailment.
How did Marina Mabrey get injured while playing basketball?
Marina Mabrey sustained an ankle injury in the first half of the Sun’s WNBA game against the Lynx.
In the final minutes of the second quarter, at the 8:22 mark, a regrettable event took place. It appeared that Marina Mabrey sustained an ankle injury when she accidentally stepped on a photographer’s foot who was positioned just behind the basket. Despite her efforts to keep playing, Mabrey ultimately had to leave the game and headed to the bench before making her way to the locker room.
Nevertheless, Mabrey tried to rejoin the game towards the end. At 4 minutes and 20 seconds into the second quarter, she came back onto the field, but played for just one more minute during the second half before leaving again.
When will Marina Mabrey return to play with Connecticut Sun?
As I’m typing this, we don’t have details about the specific injury Marina Mabrey has sustained. Therefore, at the moment, it’s challenging to estimate when she might be back in top shape again.
As a gamer myself, I’d say: “In a post-match chat, I, Coach Stephanie White, confessed that I pulled Mabrey off due to precautionary measures. She gave it her all, but something wasn’t right tonight. We didn’t want to push her any further and risk an injury. Her absence was definitely felt on the court tonight.” (Paraphrased from Wilton Bulletin)
More assessments on Mabrey’s injury are expected to emerge in the coming days.
