Uh, and first I wanna talk, talk about the games that are happening today.
Uh, so there's five games happening tonight.
Tonight we have Atlanta at home versus Connecticut.
We got Chicago at home versus Washington.
So a couple of, uh, interesting things to have in mind as we go into tonight's games, and the first thing is around Paige Bueckers.
I talked about her a little bit yesterday.
Uh, and we got, we got a little bit more, uh, clarity as to, as to what the heck is going on with, uh, with Paige Bueckers, and, um, she had a little bit of a flareup when it came, when it comes to her, uh, her knee.
Um, she, she talked a little bit about it, uh, yesterday, and said, um, she said, um, her plantar, uh, plantar tendonitis, uh, flared up at the World Cup.
Um, and said, "There was two back to backs.
Just wanted to be cautious, take that approach.
Obviously the timing was frustrating, but being smart about it too, knowing that there's a reason and a purpose for everything." Uh, so Paige Bueckers, she seems to be okay.
She is going to be playing tonight.
Um, but for those who are wondering what the heck is happening status-wise for Paige Bueckers, well, there's your story.
Um, a little bit of a flareup when it comes to her, her plantar tendonitis.
Uh, but, uh, she is playing today.
All right? Just something to have in mind.
But, uh, while she's in, Elena Smith, who got hurt, uh, in, uh, the World Cup, she is out.
They have not necessarily ruled her out for the rest of the season.
I, I mean, with her injury, I, I don't know if she actually returns, uh, this season to play in the playoffs.
There's a couple of other players, notable players, that are out tonight.
