Karlie Samuelson came off the bench to score 13 points in the first half of the Washington Mystics' game against the Phoenix Mercury on Thursday night. She also took one of the hardest hits of the WNBA season.
During the second quarter, Samuelson took a Kahleah Copper elbow to the head and was left with a nasty hematoma that you usually don't see unless you're watching a UFC event. The bruise had already started to blow up by the time she got to the bench.
