Chicago Sky forward Rickea Jackson tears ACL in her left knee
CHICAGO (AP) --- Chicago Sky forward Rickea Jackson suffered a torn ACL in her
left knee in a win over the Minnesota Lynx, the team announced Tuesday.
Jackson injured her knee in the second quarter on Sunday and an MRI revealed
the tear.
"We're devastated that Rickea suffered this injury, but we are confident she
will make a full recovery," Chicago general manager Jeff Pagliocca said.
"Rickea was playing at an All-Star and All-Defensive level early in the season.
We are certain she was primed for a career year. Our world-class medical staff
will work hard with Rickea, who is one of the toughest players in the league,
to get her back on the court."
The 6-foot-2 forward was acquired by Chicago in an offseason trade with Los
Angeles. She was averaging 22 points a game.
The Sky were already dealing with a handful of injuries as DiJonai Carrington
(foot), Azura Stevens (knee) and Courtney Vandersloot (knee) are yet to make
their season debuts. Skylar Diggins, who signed as a free agent this offseason,
missed Sunday's game with an eye injury.
The Sky had gotten off to a strong start with wins in three of their first four
games --- all on the road. Chicago plays its next four at home, starting with
Wednesday night's game against Dallas.
