The 21-year-old center was injured in a third-quarter collision with Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers in Minnesota’s 90-86 win Thursday night in Arlington, Texas.

Medical staff rushed to check on Cechova, who grabbed her knee in pain before being helped to the locker room.

She is averaging 8.3 points and 3.7 rebounds in 17.3 minutes off the bench through three games this season.
