A joyous and celebration-filled afternoon upset over the No. 9 UCONN Huskies was interrupted on Monday when one of the Oregon Ducks’ best players, Nyara Sabally, crumpled to the floor after an awkward landing and looking to be in serious pain while holding her knee.

Sabally would eventually be helped off of the floor and into the locker room, where she would later emerge from with a bag of ice wrapped on her right leg. Her ability to limp through the postgame celebration and interact with teammates seemed to be some good news, and head coach Kelly Graves noted afterward that things looked to be more positive than expected.
On Thursday afternoon when meeting with media members, Graves gave an update on Sabally, noting that she practiced with the team and should be “good to go” for Friday’s game against the Washington Huskies.
Kelly Graves says that Nyara Sabally is looking good, and actually practiced today. Great news for the Ducks.

Sabally is a huge piece for the Ducks, averaging 15.3 points per game, and 7.1 rebounds. Sabally has had a history of knee injuries in her career, but this one doesn’t seem to be as serious as we initially suspected.
