Seattle Storm and Sue Bird's Nose

WNBA All-Star Sue Bird broke her nose for the second time in less than a year when she was hit by an inadvertent elbow by teammate Lauren Jackson, who is 6'4" and has a lot of leverage when swinging her arms. Bird has missed a few games, and the defending WNBA Seattle Storm, her team, has turned the ball over 21 times per game she's missed, including yesterday's game.

Which means, of course, that she's really missed.

Bird is one of many shining lights the WNBA has to offer, and here's to hoping a) that she recovers quickly and b) that by the end of the career her attractive face continues to reflect the elegance that she displays on and off the court and not the battle scars of a club cruiserweight from the Bronx.
