Former Silver Ferns skipper and Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic captain Casey Kopua may be out for the remainder of the ANZ Premiership season after suffering a foot injury.
Kopua was named in the Magic's starting seven before injuring her foot during the team's warm-up at Auckland's Pulman Arena.
With the
raw combination of Katherine Levien and Kate Lloyd tasked with leading the defence end, Kopua's absence was felt as the Magic were defeated 56-51 by the Northern Stars.
Details of the injury are yet to be released by team management, but speaking with Sky Sport after the disappointing loss, Kopua looked emotional and said it was tough to watch her side from the bench.
"Especially after last week's performance, I know that the girls won't be happy with that, but I guess we get a [bonus] point out of that," Kopua said.
