Atlanta Dream Star Tiffany Hayes Injured
Backcourt Leader Diagnosed with MCL Tear
Out Indefinitely
Atlanta Dream guard Tiffany Hayes will miss at least a month of action after being diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL tear in her right knee, the team announced Monday. The injury occurred during Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Sparks.
Hayes, a two-time All-Star and 2017 WNBA Champion, is the Dream's leading scorer and one of the most dynamic players in the league. Her absence will be a significant blow to Atlanta, who are currently in contention for a playoff spot.
The Dream have not provided a specific timetable for Hayes' return, but the team is hopeful that she will be back in action by the end of the regular season. In the meantime, Atlanta will have to rely on other players to step up in Hayes' absence.
Hayes' injury is a reminder of the physical toll that basketball can take on athletes. While it is unfortunate that she will miss some time, the Dream will be hoping that she can make a full recovery and return to the court stronger than ever before.
