WNBA Veteran’s Continue To Get Hurt

What’s up with the WNBA this year? Is there a curse on the veterans that I don’t know about?
Last week, WNBA All-Star Lauren Jackson found out she had a severe back injury that would keep her out for the rest of the season.
This week, gold medalist and WNBA All-Star Kara Lawson announced that she will miss the rest of the WNBA season with the Sacramento Monarchs due to tendinitis in her right quadriceps muscle. (Ouch.)
Kara Lawson is out for the season with tendinitis.
Lawson, a seven-year veteran, was recently chosen for the U.S. women’s national basketball team. She was one of eight players selected, which speaks to her ability as a point guard.
Chamique Holdsclaw, Lisa Leslie, Katie Douglas, and DeLisha Milton-Jones were all injured at some point this season (among others). Are the veteran’s just getting worn down?
