She is a vital piece of the Phoenix Mercury’s plans this season, one of the league’s leading scorers last season. She will miss the first 4-6 weeks of the season after undergoing a successful left knee arthroscopy. The team will also miss Natasha Mack who is out with a back injury.
41 seconds into the new season, Rae Burrell went down with a right knee injury while contesting a jumpshot. She had to be carried off the court but luckily avoided major injury and will miss 6-8 weeks. The team wasn’t specific as to the nature of the injury, but a full recovery is expected.
Missed the season opener with a sprained right ankle, but should be back for the second game of the season on May 20 vs the Atlanta Dream. The Fever have a very balanced offensive attack with five players attempting 10 or more shots so Sophie should have plenty of scoring opportunities this season.
Exited Sunday’s game with a head injury after a collision in the third quarter. She did not return in a blowout vs the Lynx. The team did not indicate any time will be missed, but she will be closely monitored as she is an important piece to the Sparks attack.
