Rae Burrell of the Sparks suffered a right leg injury just a minute into her season opener, leading to her being carried off the floor. The team confirmed she will be sidelined for six to eight weeks. Despite the injury's severity, it could have been worse as Burrell is expected to recover fully. This setback is disappointing for the Sparks, especially since Burrell had a chance to improve her performance compared to last season. The team is also missing Cameron Brink, who is recovering from ACL surgery.
Considering how bad the injury looked, this is a glass-half-full scenario for the Sparks. Missing Burrell for potentially two months certainly stings.
If you were ever going to have a big injury, it'd be best to have it right away and finish the rest of the season healthy and strong.
