tough luck shotblock Barbie but this injury does makes things interesting

 

[Saysumthinfunnymike]

Sad for Brink she was doing well

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

This is why I laugh when they keep saying lower the rims so women can dunk.

Their knees aren’t built like men and it doesn’t take much for them to get torn apart.

What does that remotely have to do with her injury?

 

[BlackMajik]

The only good thing I can say to Cam is at least its not an Achilles injury which would have been a lot worse

HVL ain't allowing that

That still has nothing to do with the injury that she suffered and his comment about lowering the rim.

It looks like she either slipped or her knee buckled. That could have happened to any other basketball player men or women.
