Jordin Canada, Atlanta Dream guard, out with injury<\/h2>\n\nAtlanta Dream guard Jordin Canada will be out for at least two weeks due to a right hamstring injury, the team announced on Wednesday.\n\nCanada suffered the injury in the third quarter of the Dream’s 74-66 victory over the Phoenix Mercury last Sunday.\n\nWith two minutes remaining in the third period, Canada drove towards the basket and began to show signs of pain after taking a shot. He had difficulty supporting his right leg as he left the court.\n\nThe team’s medical staff initially examined her on the bench, and then Canada was taken to the locker room, being officially ruled out for the final quarter.\n\nBefore Sunday’s game, Canada, the Dream’s starting point guard, was averaging 11.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game. At the time, she was the fifth-leading assist player in the league. Her defense has also been crucial for Atlanta, with the team having a rating of 94.7 with her on the court and 101.7 without her.\n\nSunday’s game marked the return of Rhyne Howard, who had been out since July 17 with a knee injury, and Brittney Griner, who missed three games due to a neck injury.\n\n\n

“We hate being without JC because he’s been playing really well,” said Atlanta coach Karl Smesko on Wednesday before his team’s 85-75 victory in Seattle. “And obviously, whenever you make adjustments, especially at the point guard position, you hope everything goes as smoothly as possible, but it’s not easy. Fortunately, we’re getting Rhy back and that helps a lot.<\/p>Karl Smesko, Atlanta Dream Coach<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nNow, the Dream will have to wait longer to be at its maximum capacity.\n\nAccording to the team, Canada is expected to return fully this season.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
