Heading into their match against the Chicago Sky, the Seattle Storm knew they needed someone who could bring the same physicality the Sky are known for. It felt like the perfect moment for Dominique Malonga to step up. This was a chance for the number 2 overall pick to show the world why she was drafted so high. But sometimes, the basketball gods work in mysterious ways.
With 7:22 left in the second quarter, Dominique Malonga was defending Kamilla Cardoso during a Chicago possession when she appeared to twist her left ankle and went down clutching it. A scary moment for the Storm. While the team hasn’t released an official update yet, fans will be hoping it’s nothing serious. The good news? Malonga was able to walk off the court on her own and make her way to the bench.
Dominique Malonga goes down hard and grabs what looks to be her ankle.
She is up and walking under her own power.
