The news about Bec Allen’s injuries was disheartening at a time her performance for Australia and Europe’s Valencia team was peaking. Nevertheless, as a keen sports follower, you ought to be aware that athletes are prone to injuries, some career-ending, others short-lived. 

Bec’s injury dented the Australian Women‘s Basketball Team at the least expected time. She suffered the setback while playing for her national team in the 2022 FIBA World-cup held on her home soil. 

Read here on the journey of Bec Allen and the Australian Opals at the FIBA Women’s World Cup.

Her outstanding performance earlier in the tournament saw Opals, the Australian Women’s Basketball team, beat France and Serbia in their first three matches with her name on the scoreboard twice, contributing 16 points in two games. She was slowly announcing her name in the tournament before the sad incident. 

It was in her third match against Serbia that she accidentally collided with pairs of Serbian players. She was wheeled off-pitch to the fan’s disappointment. Earlier examinations revealed no major injuries paving her way back into playing against Belgium in the quarterfinals and China in Semi-finals, albeit as a substitute player. 

Nevertheless, as things would turn out later, Bec’s injury was more severe than earlier imagined. Further X-rays and scans revealed she had suffered two rib fractures plus a partial lung collapse. Expectedly, this cut short her 2022 season in Europe with Valencia. 

Bec’s healing journey from late last year has been phenomenal though. Her recovery journey is replete with positives and she says you will soon see her better days in court representing her new team Connecticut Sun. 

Her recovery is defined by rehabilitation exercises, rest, and physical therapy. The closely monitored recovery is expected to boost the regaining of vigor, mobility, and flexibility which are her core strengths. 

Despite the sad turn of events, she is full of praise for her teammates for winning the bronze. Bec also, expresses gratefulness to all, for kindness and good wishes through her recovery journey. 

She remains hopeful that she will have regained full fitness when the new WNBA season kicks off in May.
