Basketball Knock on wood: Liberty players remain healthy by Staff Post June 30, 2011 Though fans might have complained and lost sleep over their team’s early season woes, the Liberty faithful is truly grateful that the injury bug has avoided New York. Knock on wood. Playing more physical than ever, Cappie Pondexter and company have gone through the typical wear and tear that comes with any sports schedule but no one has spent time on the shelf. That says a lot about the conditioning (and some luck) of the players, especially Kia Vaughn and Plenette Pierson – both of whom have been fearless banging bodies in the paint. The same can’t be said for a few of the league’s elite teams, including the Eastern Conference-leading Indiana Fever. Yesterday, the 7-3 Fever lost starting point guard Briann January for the rest of the season after sustaining a torn ACL during the team’s win over Phoenix earlier this week. The injury is a major blow for Indiana but it opens the door for the Liberty, who sit in third place and two games behind the Fever. In Indiana’s 86-80 win over New York earlier this season, January scored 13 points and tormented the Libs with her dribble penetration and defense. Though the Libs’ path to a spot in the Eastern Conference playoffs has one less roadblock, the players are sad to see a good competitor fall to injury. Several players’ Twitter accounts expressed thoughts and prayers for January. Serious injuries to two Western Conference players put the damper on the Sparks’ and Storm’s season. Los Angeles lost star Candace Parker for six weeks, and defending WNBA champion Seattle will be without former league MVP Lauren Jackson for eight to 12 weeks. Parker suffered a torn lateral meniscus in her right knee during the Sparks’ loss to the Liberty on Sunday. After pulling down a rebound in the third quarter of the game, Parker inadvertently bumped knees with Quanitra Hollingsworth and fell to the floor, writhing in pain. Jackson is scheduled to undergo surgery today to repair the labrum in her left hip. More than likely, Jackson will not be available when Seattle and New York play their regular season games against each other next month. The Libs welcome the Storm to the Prudential Center on Aug. 9. Both Parker and Jackson, however, will be active should their teams reach the WNBA finals against New York. Yup, you read that right. vermox germany pills alli gnc pills differin wrinkles usa deltasone user reviews generic pravachol loss memory price lexapro and pregnancy s hcl banana leaf menu rio rancho effects minocycline itchy skin online nizoral a-d shampoo free shipping usa tretinoin 25 hcl vasotec congestive heart failure side effects inderal 50mg price kamagra central review usa vpxl herbal Buy Without Prescription maxalt hydrocodone interaction usa aldactone acne medication price free august 2011 calendar desktop for sale clomid success rates on first cycle drug cardizem side effects dogs side effects altec lansing speakers ada745 for sale cipro xr drug interactions drug abilify ocd children nolvadex gyno retin a warts hcl lexapro and pregnancy side effects hcl Post Views: 1,361 The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest Posts Staff Post Latest posts by Staff Post (see all) In The Zone Announces Initial Podcast Lineup - November 13, 2020 The Essential Resources You Need to Start Your Own Gym in 2020 - February 6, 2020 Wilder vs Fury II – How the second fight will be different to the first? - February 5, 2020 Early turnovers, defensive struggles plague the Scarlet Knights - January 26, 2020 Related TopicsCappie PondexterInjuriesKia VaughnNew York LibertyPlenette PiersonWNBA 1 Comment You must be logged in to post a comment Login Leave a Reply Cancel replyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
