Essence Carson to miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL

It turns out that the injury Liberty forward Essence Carson suffered in Friday's game was a torn ACL, and she's out for the rest of the season.

Especially considering she was having a break out year, it's beyond sad.

Carson's injury has dealt a blow to her team.

Today's games......oddly, the two teams with major injured personnel won:

The Liberty defeated the Dream, 76-67.

The Sky got past the Silver Stars, 72-70. They were lead by none other than Elena Delle Donne and her 23 points. She's looking like the Rookie of the Year so far.

Chattanooga coach Jim Foster's experiences have made him a better coach. (This situation feels like the Mike Thibault/Connecticut Sun deal)

The injury levels in the W already seem to be unbelievably high and they've only played 25 games. Not good.

EDD is really doing a nice job. I don't get how Chicago could only put 4239 butts in seats for that game. I thought it was a misprint. Jeez.

Chicago has had some of the worst attendance of all the franchises, so that's a building number for them. But I know what you mean.
