Olivia Miles injury update: Lynx star rookie exits win with ankle injury

Minnesota Lynx rookie point guard Olivia Miles suffered an ankle injury during the team's Aug. 19 match against the Golden State Valkyries. Miles demonstrated her talent by scoring 20 points, contributing seven assists, and grabbing five rebounds before her game-ending injury. While defending Valkyries guard Veronica Burton, Miles awkwardly placed her foot, causing her to roll her ankle as she stepped on teammate Napheesa Collier's foot.

She limped to the baseline and fell to the ground in pain with 4:37 remaining in the game. Miles remained on the floor for a couple of minutes as her Lynx teammates and coaches gathered around her. She was eventually helped off the court by the Lynx's medical staff and did not return for the remainder of the contest.
