PHOENIX — Alanna Smith returned from the All-Star break with remnants of a black eye she suffered in the Sky’s 88-77 loss to the Dream on July 9.
The stitches binding the cut above her right eye were gone, but a fading purple color served as a reminder that Smith had taken significant contact. In fact, all season, Smith has been the Sky’s most physical presence in the post, taking knock after knock from the league’s All-Star bigs.
