Atlanta Dream’s Jordin Canada Out With Knee Injury
Atlanta Dream guard Jordin Canada will be out for two weeks with a right knee injury, the team announced Friday.
The 29-year-old player was evaluated after the preseason victory by 80-70 against the Washington Mystics on Wednesday. Canada started the game, but had to be assisted to leave the court.
Due to the estimated recovery period, Canada will miss the season opener against the Mystics next Friday, as well as the home and away series against the Indiana Fever on May 20 and 22.
In his first season with Atlanta in 2024, Canada averaged 10.6 points, 5.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 20 games (18 starts).
The two-time WNBA champion and two-time All-Defensive selection has career averages of 9.0 points, 4.9 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.5 steals in 202 games (126 as a starter) with the Seattle Storm (2018-21), Los Angeles Sparks (2022-23), and Dream. Seattle drafted her No. 5 overall in 2018.
