Atlanta Dream guard Rhyne Howard's status for the Paris Olympics this summer appears to be in jeopardy.
Howard, who is a member of the Team USA 3x3 team, exited Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Lynx with an apparent ankle sprain, per ESPN's Michael Voepel. The injury occurred in the third quarter of Atlanta's 68-55 loss, and head coach Tanisha Wright said after the game that Howard would be further evaluated on Thursday.
Howard's injury is another potential blow to the 3x3 team, as Los Angeles Sparks rookie forward Cameron Brink suffered a torn ACL earlier this week that will cause her to miss the remainder of the WNBA season as well as the Paris Olympics.
