Kate Martin's Dad Gives Crucial Update On Her Injury
On Tuesday night, WNBA rookie Kate Martin suffered an ankle injury in the Las Vegas Aces 93-85 loss to Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky.
The injury occurred late into the first quarter when Martin was dribbling up the court. She went down without making contact with anyone, which put fear into many WNBA fans' eyes.
Martin needed assistance to get off the court and into the locker room. She was later deemed out for the remainder of the game but made a return to the Aces' bench under her own power.
According to KCCI Des Moines, Martin's father, Matt Martin, spoke on her injury on Thursday, saying Kate "bruised her Achilles tendon" and that the injury was "perfect timing" because of the month-long break due to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
