Jade Melbourne had a rough night on Thursday.
The Washington Mystics’ fans were left stunned just eight minutes into their matchup against the Las Vegas Aces on Thursday when their star point guard took a hard elbow to the face from Chelsea Gray.
Early in the first quarter, Jade was struck in the face by an inadvertent elbow from Chelsea Gray, resulting in her being bloodied and part of her tooth becoming dislodged and forcing her out of the game.
The incident unfolded right after Melbourne’s layup put the Mystics ahead 2–0.
Slow motion replay confirmed the elbow as medical staff immediately escorted her off the court.
Jade Melbourne loses part of a tooth to a Chelsea Gray elbow, warning you now the result is not pretty. Stop it when they walk he to the back if you don’t want to see it.

Jade Melbourne had an unfortunate incident where Aces star Chelsea Gray knocked a tooth out of her mouth.
It was so bad that she would only play one minute of the game and not return. She went 1 for 1 from the field with 2 points before her exit.
Luckily, her team was good enough to defeat the Aces.
Next up is a road game against the Dallas Wings on Saturday.
Jade Melbourne should be ready to play that game, although without a tooth.

LSU Tigers star Angel Resse has been making a lot of headlines after her match against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Reese has a unique fashion for her matches, she wears leggings on only one of her legs and she recently revealed the secret of doing so.
Reese lost her recent game against the Iowa Hawkeyes which left the fans wondering if she would continue with LSU or declare for the WNBA draft. Those questions have also been answered by Reese in her recent collaboration with Vogue.
Why does Angel Reese wear one legging attire?
Angel Reese wears only one legging as a part of her one-court attire and the fans have grown curious about it. Many people speculated that it was part of a superstition that Reese followed, however, that is not the case. The LSU star has herself revealed the reason for the unique dressing choice and it may surprise a lot of people.
“I had surgery two years back on my shin. I have a rod in my leg… I cover the scar on one, and then the two players that I admire, Te’a Cooper and A’ja Wilson, also wear it, too. So it is swag. But I have used it to cover my scar,” said Angel Reese. She revealed that she had surgery on her leg and had a scar on it. She wears the leggings to hide that scar and at the same time as a swag fashion accessory.
Angel Reese declares for WNBA draft with Vogue photoshoot
After the Tigers failed to stand up against Caitlin Clark and the Hawkeyes the fans were left wondering if the LSU star Angel Reese would declare for the upcoming NBA draft. Reese has answered those questions with a beautiful photoshoot in collaboration with Vogue. Reese did a photo shoot with the brand and announced that she would be declaring for the WNBA draft.
Reese expressed her thoughts about the decision on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. “Making my announcement with VOGUE was ICONIC. In the new world that I am stepping into, just believe in me, trust in me, and give me time to learn and grow!” said Reese in the post. She thanked her supporters for their support and love and also asked them to trust her in her new journey.
What do you think of Angel Reese’s secret about the one-legging attire? Which do you think will pick up Reese in the draft? We are eager to know your thoughts, so drop down in the comments and let us know.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife Emily have had to evacuate their home this week because of Hurricane Helene.
The hurricane hit northern Florida pretty hard, causing major flooding and power loss.
Mayfield, his wife Emily, their daughter, and their dog left their residence before the storm hit as a means of caution. Emily furnished her followers with an update on Friday.
“Baker, Koko, Fergus and I evacuated yesterday and are safe,” she said via Instagram. “Our sweet, sweet community got pummeled, but even that doesn’t compare to the people up North who took this storm head on. It’s unfathomable.”
Emily is grateful that Helene did not affect the Mayfield home but revealed she was “praying nonstop” for the people dealing with the impact while also offering tangible assistance.
“I am looking for ways to get out and tangibly help,” she added. “Please send me anything you find, and I will share the good ones.”
