Las Vegas ace forward Dearika Humby is expected to miss two to four weeks after suffering a bone fracture in her right knee during Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Dream, according to multiple reports.
The two-time WNBA All-Star was injured when he landed unnaturally while attempting a layup in the 97-90 win over Dream. She had to be helped to her changing room and she did not return to the match.
Humvee's injury means the Aces will likely make it through the first round of the playoffs on Thursday against No. 1-seeded Chicago Her Sky.
The 28-year-old Humvee was averaging 9.3 points and 7.1 rebounds. She spent her three her seasons at San Antonio Her Stars before coming to Las Vegas in 2018.
Although she struggled on offense before her injury, the Humvee was still considered an important part of the rotation due to her energy and defense. She averaged 9.3 points and 7.1 rebounds.
