Okay, she and Jennah are starting to change the math for next years squad in a very positive way.

To me with any roster we get it all comes down to Kim Caldwell. We'll have to see if this team can adapt to her style the last one couldn't for whatever reasons. I hope this time we see a team that is willing to do it.

Don't disagree but I think we are now at the stage, where we have to give Caldwell the benefit of the doubt (cause there is no other option) and assume that this team will meld better than last years.

NGL that knee looks cooked but everyone looks so happy. If she’s pain free and can play she is a crazy talent and perfect for our style. She has deep range and is NOT afraid to let it fly.

It does look a little swollen in that picture. 5 to 6 months out from injury, I believe.

What weird and foolish comment to make about a player post-injury. I’ve seen several men and women players recovering from a knee, arm, or shoulder injury etc which appeared the same during the healing process. There’s absolutely no reason to highlight that in a photo.

You said you are doctor right? If so, you probably realize that is a very irresponsible statement to make. "Cooked" suggests some kind of permanent damage, whereas this swelling is more likely the normal consequence of what I am guessing was a meniscus repair.

All the reports state that she had a "nagging" knee injury that she tried to play through but then opted for surgery. That scenario could be a lot things but it is consistent with a meniscus tear. If it is not too severe in terms of pain level (and depending on the specific nature of the tear), people often try non-surgical options first.

She is about 4 months off of her surgery (and swelling is typically still an issue at that recovery stage). Dr. Google says it is usually around 6 months before an athlete is cleared for a return to full activity. She is probably in the rehab and ramp up phase now. If a meniscus repair, she should back to full training by June.
