In 31min19s who was in court, the Érika marked nine points, took 11 rebounds and gave two assists. Após o jogo a atleta voltou a sentir fortes dores na perna. After the game the athlete again felt strong pain in the leg. |
I will add that she was at the post-game ice cream social/autograph signing with the season ticket holders though. Not that means anything one way or the other.

that sucks for her, I've liked her every since she was a young rookie with the LA Sparks in 2002 and have tried to watch her international and overseas pro career...i was excited when she came back to the league although she was traded to the Connecticut, I'm glad shes back playing unforunately she won't be in Bejing, hopefully she will be able to get healthy and play in London
