THUMBS UP OR DOWN FOR INTENSE PRACTICES?
The Monarchs certainly don't go easy on each other during practices, diving for loose balls and taking charges. The intensity of their no-holds barred practices have resulted in a second injury to a key post player within a week.
Rebekkah Brunson suffered a sprained shoulder Thursday when she ran into a teammate. But as painful as that injury is, it may get a lot worse.
Yolanda Griffith is nursing a painful thumb injury that usually requires a cast. Instead, she's sucked it up and is playing with a splint made of tape.
Doctors told Griffith she could play with the torn ulnar collateral ligament in her right thumb -- her shooting hand -- as long as she can handle the pain and no more tearing occurs.
First-year coach Jenny Boucek likes intense practices, but at this rate -- only four games into the season and the team two days away from playing its first home game -- there may not be enough players left to scrimmage by the All-Star break.
Brunson is listed day-to-day and Yo will play Saturday against the Sparks -- that is if she can survive Friday's practice.
