Rally time: Nurse helps Canada come back, beat Serbia 71-67 (Yahoo Sports)
Guard Kia Nurse put on an impressive show to spark Canada’s comeback in women’s basketball on Monday, showing she is nearly completely healthy in just her fifth game back from surgery. Nurse, who had sports hernia surgery after helping the UConn Huskies win a fourth straight national title in April, came through with the Canadians needing someone to start making shots. ”I said after the game, ‘Welcome back,”’ Canada coach Lisa Thomaidis said.
