The injury bug continues to bite the Minnesota Lynx this season, with a key contributor off the bench now added to the list of inactive players for the coming weeks.
The Lynx announced Thursday that guard Rachel Banham will miss time due to a right thumb fracture that took place in a game against the Las Vegas Aces on July 9.
After consulting with hand surgeon Sanjeev Kakar, MD, at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, the team says Banham was diagnosed with a right thumb fracture, though it won’t require surgery. Banham and the surgeon “created a plan of care that will be treated non-operatively” and she “will be re-evaluated in the coming weeks,” according to the team.
