A recent tweet from journalist Matthew Byrne (@MatthewByrne1) sheds light on the emotional impact of such injuries, not just for the sidelined athlete but also for their teammates. The tweet highlights the supportive message from Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark (CC) to her fellow WNBA player Cameron Brink, who suffered a season-ending injury dashing her hopes of competing in the 2024 Olympics.
“CC on making good passes consistently: “I kinda assumed Aliyah was gonna be open and I didn’t even really look… so I think just slowing down… honestly, I’m trying to remember the other ones.” Boston interrupts: “It’s okay, it’s alright. Don’t worry.” *continues* ”
