Mystics coach Sydney Johnson said after the game that Melbourne did require stitches, Yahoo Sports reported.

Despite the initial shock of the injury, Melbourne appeared in good spirits after the game. Teammate Georgia Amoore shared a post on Instagram that showed Melbourne smiling with a bloodied mouth and chipped tooth and two thumbs-up.

Melbourne, an Australian basketball player who earned a bronze medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, is averaging 6.5 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists this season. 

It was not immediately clear if she would miss any additional time because of Thursday’s injury.
