At the moment, Sydney Wiese has yet to arrive in Townsville, Louella Tomlinson (Melbourne), Aimee Clydesdale (Adelaide) and Laia Palau (Dandenong) are not yet recovered from injuries, and Tahlia Tupaea (Sydney) and Toni Farnworth (nee Edmondson) (Perth) are likely to miss most if not all of the season due to more serious injuries. |
What's Tupaea'a injury? I was slightly intrigued on maybe seeing her in camp next year, but my guess is if it's serious, she will be delayed.

Did Hooper talk about her experience of probably (did pilight ever confirm?) being the first WNBA player to be on 4 teams in one season?

I don't want to get in trouble with the broadcaster, so I'm going to delay these by a week each time.
Here's the Round 1 game between Melbourne Boomers and Townsville Fire:

Based on what we've heard from LJ over the years, it must be really restrictive on her not to be able to swear while describing the game. |

I'ma feeling your pain. At least Williams is making it entertaining.
