Why Is Kate Martin Not Playing Against Phantom? Digging Deep Into Laces BC’s Major Blow

The wait is over! Unrivaled is back! After an electrifying mid-season 1v1 tournament that saw co-founder Napheesa Collier claim the crown, the league is set to resume action today. But beyond the excitement, there lies an upset.

Tonight’s Unrivaled doubleheader is set to bring the fireworks! Rose BC and Vinyl BC tip things off in a battle for momentum, while Phantom BC and a banged-up Laces BC squad close out the night. But for Laces BC fans, the injury woes continue. Three players are officially sidelined, and two more remain game-time decisions.

Kate Martin, who has been impressive in the Unrivaled this season, missed the 1v1 tournament due to an injury and it turns out she is missing tonight’s game as well. According to WNBA writer Myles Ehrlich, Kate Martin is set to miss tonight’s game with a lower leg injury!

As expected, a busy injury report for the Laces. Tiffany Hayes, Kate Martin, and Alyssa Thomas are all OUT, while Jackie Young and Kayla McBride are QUESTIONABLE. Betnijah Laney-Hamilton, Natisha Hiedeman, and Kiki Jefferson are all Laces tonight. @Winsidr https://t.co/vhl8p0Q3Ik pic.twitter.com/YteIDmZHMn
