Aubrey Plaza suffered an injury during the WNBA All-Star weekend, but that didn't stop her from attending the main event on Saturday, July 20.
As detailed by broadcaster Ryan Ruocco, Plaza participated in a game of Knockout at the Phoenix Mercury's practice facility on Saturday and walked away with a torn ACL. She attended the Skills Challenge and 3-Point Contest on Friday without crutches, but by the time she was in attendance during the All-Star Game she was seen with crutches, a brace around her leg, and an ice pack.
Thankfully, Plaza was sitting next to WNBA legend Sue Bird, who was more than happy to accomodate the actress.
Plaza, who is set to star opposite Kathryn Hahn in the Disney+ series Agatha All Along, is a huge fan of basketball. In fact, this is the second time she's torn her ACL while playing basketball.
As reported by SFGate, Plaza admitted during the live recording of an episode of the podcast A Touch More on Friday that she tore her ACL when she played in disguise in a women's recreation league in Los Angeles.
“I decided to play in disguise as somebody else,” Plaza said, explaining that she wore "a wig and goggles."
"I was like, ‘No one will know it’s me. It’s great. And then, in the middle of the game, I went up for a shot and tore my ACL on the court in a wig,’" she added. "That’s kind of like the worst-case scenario because I was trying to go undercover, and I just snapped my knee in half, basically. I had to be carried off the court, and that’s when all eyes were on me. People started to wonder, ‘Is that a wig? What’s going on over there?"
