I will repeat my observations about DiJonai which I shared earlier on this thread. I watched the game in person today in Victoria.
DiJonai was not dressed for the game and was wearing sweats, so my best guess is that she might be having trouble healing her knee from surgery this past summer.
However, she was actively participating in warmups tonight, distributing the ball to her teammates and seemed in good spirits. She was not immobilized and moved about the floor with ease. In fact, she was our best cheerleader tonight, giving high fives to teammates while moving fluidly in front of the bench. IMHO she is having to go easy on her knee and probably was bummed about it. She took a hard charge in the opening minutes of the game the other night; it was called a blocking foul, and she was removed from the game. That may have been the moment she reinjured her knee. Still, from watching her interact with her teammates tonight, I wouldn’t be too concerned about her recovery or her spirits.
