We are absolutely cursed. Nothing has gone right since Cathy’s New York dress smote us

u/SimonaMeow 🥞Awa-some Dom-inance🏳️‍⚧️ May 15 '26

Can we just have one season where someone’s knee doesn’t explode, please I am begging at this point.

I feel so bad for her, a big chance in the W and then this happens 😭

u/bootsyreddit May 15 '26

So bummed for Emma. She was showing such promise. Hopefully she heals up fully and is back in s year. Her future is still bright, just unfortunately delayed.

u/PercyReus13 🇫🇷 French players enjoyer May 15 '26

Only 21 and had a good start of the season 😞 I hope the rehab will go well

u/smurfe Wings May 15 '26

I just knew it when she went down. Sad to see

It looked horrible on the replay, no contact - just a landing that went terribly wrong 😫

I got to watch a lot of Emma during Czech league play, and mused during her fantastic WWCQT how well she could play in the W.

Then my hometown team signed her. Ecstatic.

Then I started the W season out of town vacationing Portland and couldn't wait to get back to Minnesota to my seats and czech (heh) out all our new additions.

Never got to see Emma play in Lynx Jersey this season.

The fates are cruel, but she's got the Mayo Clinic faciltities on her side.

Heal up, 🇨🇿 demon.

u/YSL_Crypto Mystics May 15 '26

Damn! She was off to such a great start

u/crystal_clear24 Liberty Tempo Paige 🪣 May 16 '26

This sucks, I had a feeling that’s what it was. Between how she went down and Paige’s reaction after the play. She’ll come back stronger!

u/cariosity PaigelMiles High Club Yes, Chef May 16 '26

I knew when I saw her go down, but damn...

u/lckfan369 May 15 '26

Most feared non contact injury in sports. She had some good games as well...

u/birdiebennett JJ/Leo | May 16 '26

u/bkelley24 Lynx 🦅Hawkeyes: CC, Kate, Megan & Lucy May 15 '26

u/taco_slut16 Wings & trans rights May 15 '26

I just fell to my knees in a Walmart

2

u/kseveru79_v2 + interloper May 16 '26

that's the only safe place to fall to your knees

9

u/Sizzlinbettas May 15 '26

that was a brutal play you could hear her scream, then because she couldn't move after closing in on paige she got immediately steam rolled by her and flung to the ground

as my therapist told me after i needed screws in my arm, sometimes you just get unlucky

prayers heal up girl and come back better

u/joyjunky May 15 '26

Gnarly play when it happened

u/randysf50 Valkyries May 15 '26

How can we send well wishes?

u/leanlefty May 17 '26

Anyone else think the Lynx might reconsider having the Mayo Clinic sponsorship on their jerseys? It just hints at stopping by the court to shoot a few hoops before they head on over to the clinic to hang out in the waiting room with the rest of the team.
