Kate Martin has been one of the best stories in the WNBA this season, but she finished the Las Vegas Aces’ game on Tuesday in clear pain.
The rookie out of Iowa went down hard in the first quarter against the Chicago Sky, falling awkwardly after making contact with defender Dana Evans. Martin’s teammates were concerned enough that they immediately surrounded her, with some players going as far as using towels to hide her from cameras.Martin exited the court and was later pronounced out for the rest of the game with a lower right leg injury. The good news is Martin looked much better as she walked onto the court before the start of the second half, wearing a jersey and sweatpants.
