Things started out well this WNBA season for former Arizona star Aari McDonald. The Atlanta Dream guard was an established starter, starting all five games this season after starting six last season. Then came the June 2 game against the reigning champion Las Vegas Aces.
The Dream announced on Tuesday that McDonald suffered a torn labrum in last week’s 92-87 loss to the Aces. The diagnosis was confirmed by an MRI this week according to the team’s press release.
McDonald has set a number of career highs in her third season in the WNBA. She averages 28.
