Xu's status isn't mentioned and she wasn't on the stat sheet. So I guess she was available, but the coach chose not to play her (to let her heal better, I presume).
Whatever is going on, I hope they all are well enough and are allowed to play as soon as possible.
Yes, also Xu walking around with a crutch and wearing a boot would pretty much rule her out for this match. Maybe next weekend.
What I don't get is A. Smith sitting down by herself away from the other players standing on the sidelines for about half the match. I thought her only injury was to the fingers. Has Hambly lost control of this team? There was not much high-fiving of players coming off the court. There seemed to be a disconnect between the players on the sidelines and the court action as though they weren't into what was happening on the court. It's impossible for me as an outsider to know. Maybe this is my imagination or possibly the poor quality of the livestream.
