Kia Nurse is the future of this organization and she validates it every time she steps on the court. Nurse fits perfectly into the Liberty’s identity of being a defensive team. She brings energy off the bench and covers baseline to baseline quicker than any other player on the court. Tuesday night, it was no different. Nurse’s quick hands disrupted the flow of the Wings’ offense. And there were a few times she was able to use her feistiness to convert steals to fast break points.
Over the span of the game, Nurse accumulated four fouls, but Smith used her down the stretch anyway. “Tina is somebody who we will always rely on heavy… their time is coming and it will come,” Smith said. Nurse finished with 11 points.
