Shock All-Star Nolan day-to-day after back injury

[TheGeneral+]

AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) -- Nolan was "feeling better" after receiving treatment for a bruised sacrum, a triangular bone situated near the lower end of the spinal column, the Shock said Monday.

Nolan was taken off the court on a stretcher after she fell on her back in Detroit's 79-73 win over the Sun. Nolan went up high to block a layup attempt by Nykesha Sales and flipped over Sales' shoulder.

Nolan scored 17 points as Detroit advanced to the finals against the winner of the Western Conference series between Los Angeles and Sacramento.

The first game of the best-of-three finals is Friday.

Has anyone heard whether Deanna Nolan will be playing in tonight's game?

Laimbeer said she would start...but Holland-Corn is a solid back-up.

I would have kept Nolan in DET (the plane ride must have been painful) to rest up for game #2.
