<p>LAS VEGAS &mdash; Aces forward Angel McCoughtry has a torn ACL and meniscus in her right knee, the team announced Monday.</p>
<p>The veteran guard was hurt 2:49 into a game Saturday against Los Angeles. McCoughtry came down with an offensive rebound before being helped from the court.</p>
<p>“Eerily similar to what happened to me the first time, and my results came back as a torn ACL, torn meniscus. I was heartbroken. Again,” McCoughtry said on social media. “Initially, every negative thought came to my head. Then I realized … this game has been such a blessing to me and so has God. I will conquer this challenge even better than last time. I will recover and fight my way back to the court. I still have tons of basketball to play, God has ALWAYS delivered for me … and it’s not over yet!”</p>
<p>The 34-year-old averaged 14.4 points and 5.1 rebounds last season with Las Vegas, her first with the team. She missed the 2019 season after suffering a knee injury the year before.</p>
