WNBA Player Carried Off the Court With Concerning Injury After Just 41 Seconds
The Los Angeles Sparks kicked off their 2025 WNBA campaign on Friday night in a highly anticipated matchup against the Golden State Valkyries, who are playing their first-ever game after being added as an expansion franchise for this season. Unfortunately for the Sparks, they got off to a troubling start in their first outing of the new year. This is after fourth-year guard-forward Rae Burrell had to be carried off the court in the first quarter of the game. Advertisement Burrell came off the bench in the opening quarter, but she ended up playing just 41 seconds before suffering what appears to be a serious knee injury. It did not take long before the Sparks announced on social media that Burrell had been ruled out for the remainder of the first half after being diagnosed with an injury to her right lower extremity. The fact that the 6-foot-2 guard-forward could not put any weight on the leg and had to be carried to the locker room was not a good sign. The Sparks have not provided the details of her injury, but it's hard to deny that there is considerable concern for her status moving forward. LA Sparks guard Rae Burrell posesKirby Lee-Imagn Images Burrell could potentially join Sparks star Cameron Brink on the team's injury list as the 23-year-old continues to recover from a torn ACL. The latest news on Brink is that she could potentially return to action sometime in June--roughly one calendar year since she suffered the injury during her rookie year--which is a huge development for L.A. and their playoff hopes this season. Advertisement For now, though, Sparks fans will have to hope that Burrell's injury is not as bad as initially anticipated. Related: WNBA Reacts to Steph Curry's Exciting Message
