First let me say that Paige has my prayers for a complete and speedy healing. Not only physically but mentally as she has got to be feeling pretty low about this right now. If the poor girl didn't have bad luck it seems like she would have no luck at all. The team was blessed during the four peat that none of the core players suffered any long term debilitating injuries. It seems like the "basketball gods" are making up for that now.
Nika will have no choice but to become more of a scorer now. Hopefully her ankle has healed and she, along with everyone else, can stay healthy. Sometimes I think these players (all sports and all levels) spend too much time playing. In my opinion, they need time off for their bodies to rest and recover. This approach may take the "edge" off of their skills, but it might keep them on the court or field longer.
This is why I try so very hard to stay even keeled when contemplating the course of a new season.
