My teammate Armintie (Price) was injured in Game 2 in the second quarter and didn't play in the second half of the game. They diagnosed her with a hyperextended knee. And it was a bit scary for her at first, but now she is almost back to 100 percent and has played in the last two games. She is still wearing a knee brace, which is somewhat limiting, but she's feeling a lot better about it now.
She is doing good, not as happy as she normally is. Even her jokes are few and far between this week because the team has put a lot of undue pressure on her to come back to the court quickly. I'm not sure they understand what it's like for her to be injured. But, still, it's nothing serious, though there were a lot of rumors going around that it was an ACL or something like that. But it's not, it's just a bit of a hyperextension.

I'm glad people keep reminding me of the .com's player blogs. There's some mighty good stuff, this time from Taj on jersey numbers, friends in Iraq and the experience of injuries abroad.
