Las Vegas Aces rookie Kate Martin appeared to suffer a nasty leg injury in Tuesday's game against the Chicago Sky.
Martin slipped on the court with 1:19 left in the first quarter after awkwardly colliding with Sky defender Dana Evans. Reeling in pain, her teammates formed a tight circle around her to shield her from cameras. She was then helped to the locker room.
Martin eventually emerged from the locker room and walked back to the bench under her own power, though she did not return to the game.
Aces coach Becky Hammon called it a right leg injury after the game, but didn't have more information.
