"Parks and Rec" star Aubrey Plaza entered WNBA All-Star Weekend with two healthy knees. She left it with just one after an unfortunate mishap.
According to Ryan Ruocco, Plaza suffered a torn ACL. It happened during a spirited game of "Knockout" at the Phoenix Mercury's practice facility. This was just hours before Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, and A'ja Wilson tipped off their game.
Plaza still managed to catch the game at the Footprint Center. She needed an ice pack and a crutch to get through the night.
Fortunately, the 40-year-old appeared in good spirits. She was hobnobbing with Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe. She even received some love from players on the court.
After the game, which Team WNBA won, she thanked the W for a great weekend. She appreciated them "taking such good care of me and my busted knee."
"Such a great game," she added on Instagram. "See you in Paris (no)."
WNBA players showed Plaza support in the comments. Los Angeles Sparks star rookie Cameron Brink, who recently had her own ACL surgery, commented.
"Hot girls have bad knees 🤷🏼♀️," she said.
