Quote: Mercury starting center and 2007 WNBA Champion Tangela Smith underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on her right knee this morning, the club announced today. Team Doctor Evan Lederman performed the surgery, and a full recovery is expected in 4-6 weeks.
:cry: ... Hope its a speedy recovery. While its disappointing as a fan to lose Tan for the remainder of the season I am glad to know that she is taking care of herself and not tryingo to just stick it out for the team. The players well being is most important. |

With this news, it now makes more sense as to why they took Olympia back.....
Speedy recovery to Tangela! |

| Well, if others don't step up, and with PFT not coming back, we could be in deep doo-doo :( |

| I'm really happy that her surgery was successful...however, does anyone feel like our playoff chances have been slowly diminishing? Especially with the news of PFT not coming back and Tan being out now? |

| Our team took a couple of hard blows the last couple weeks. I have a feeling we will never see Penny again. Hope I am wrong but that's what I feel. Just like I knew we would never see Maria again. Too bad. As for Tangela that might have been the nail in the coffin. I believe in this team and will never give up but it doesn't look good for us this season. With 7 games to go and 3 out of the last spot in the playoffs my guess is we need to go 5-2. I will be pulling for this team all the way and hope we can do it. We'll see what happens. Go Mercury!1 |
