Much-injured former Lynx post Michele Van Gorp has filed a malpractice suit against (among other defendants) Lynx orthopedic surgeon Joel Boyd.

Known for her height (6'6"), for her fine play at Duke, and for coming out, Van Gorp showed limited mobility, and got limited minutes, in 2004: she told Sara's sister last May that she was still too hurt to play.

Boyd also serves as physician for the NHL's Minnesota Wild; he has worked for USA national men's and women's hockey teams, as well as for USA Basketball.
