明尼苏达猞猁在2022年WNBA赛季中一直苦苦挣扎。前冠军争夺者目前以3胜9负的战绩排在西部决赛的最后一位。对于一支曾经在女子联赛中争夺霸主地位的球队来说，这是一个巨大的失宠。
不幸的是，对于这个垂死的WNBA特许经营权来说，情况将变得更糟。山猫队宣布，长期以来的明星西尔维娅·福尔斯将因伤无限期缺阵。该团队目前将福尔斯的受伤列为“右膝软骨损伤”主教练谢丽尔·里夫也没有排除这位明星接受手术的可能性。
这个消息对一支整个赛季都在苦苦挣扎的球队来说是一个毁灭性的打击。玛雅·摩尔（Maya Moore）的持续休假削弱了WNBA的明星影响力。现在，他们肯定会在一段不确定的时间内失去团队的另一个关键支柱。
西尔维亚·福尔斯可以说是猞猁队最重要的球员之一。这位WNBA传奇人物在20世纪10年代中期与摩尔联手，称霸联盟。她凭借该系列赢得了两次冠军，一次是在2015年，另一次是在2017年。她对这项运动的贡献无疑将使她永远挂上运动鞋，成为名人堂的一把锁。

Lynx dealt major Sylvia Fowles blow due to injury to WNBA legend
原文：
The Minnesota Lynx have been struggling immensely during the 2022 WNBA season. The former title contenders currently sit at last place in the Western Conference with a 3-9 record. It’s a massive fall from grace for a team that used to battle for supremacy in the women’s league.
Unfortunately, things are about to get much worse for this moribund WNBA franchise. The Lynx announced that long-time star Sylvia Fowles will be out indefinitely due to injury. The team is currently listing Fowles’ injury as “cartilage injury in her right knee.” Head coach Cheryl Reeve also didn’t rule out the possibility of the star undergoing surgery due to this.
The news is a devastating blow to a team that has been struggling all season long. Maya Moore’s continued sabbatical sapped the WNBA franchise of their star power. Now, they’re bound to lose another key pillar of their team for an indefinite amount of time.
Sylvia Fowles is arguably one of the most important players of the Lynx franchise. The WNBA legend teamed up with Moore during the mid-2010s to dominate the league. She won two championships with the franchise, one in 2015 and another in 2017. Her contributions to the sport will undoubtedly make her a lock for the Hall of Fame when she hangs up her sneakers for good.
