Best wishes to Pop - ACL tear ends her WNBL season

[cydney]

Pop tore her ACL in a WNBL game a couple days ago. Ends her season. And sounds like she was having a great one! Also sounds like the fans down under love her (almost) as much as the fans up here!

Best wishes, Pop!!

That is too bad. It sounds like they were doing really well.

My best to her in recovery and rehab. Given her all-out intensity in the way she plays, it will be tough to get back to that level. But if anyone can do it, Pop will.

Well this news just sucks. I'll second the best luck in rehab from this.

Wish her the best on a full and early recovery. I just wanted to know which leg it was, her plant leg or off leg.

Looks to be her right knee.

She has been doing really well there. Anyone know the recovery period?

IIRC, Erica Junod had the fastest recovery that I remember. Hurt in November, back in line-up in February.

Physical Therapy student here - recovery generally takes 6-8 months, erring on the shorter end for a professional athlete.

That's insane. No way would I green-light someone to come back that quickly unless it was only a partial tear.

Feel really bad for her.....That means she won't be playing in the WNBA this season then.
