    I feel this is somehow Rockets related since she's entertained us so much throughout the years. Hopes she's okay.

    That sucks--looks like she broke her arm maybe, by the way she's holding it? Hopefully she'll have a speedy recovery.

    Only thing I took from that video is that the crew of Steve Zissou's ship is looking pretty rough these days.

    I wondered since there were no NBA games, so it was a WNBA ......the WNBA don't have the same Iron bank as the NBA to compensate her.

    Maybe Caitlin Clark can have mercy.

    The Kungfu Panda would have protected her.

    For those that don't know, Master Shifu is also a red panda.

    Houston Zoo has red pandas = they're the best!

    Broken wrist

    https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/45649875/red-panda-broken-wrist-hospital-fall


    “Thank you very much to all NBA, WNBA, Universities, media individuals and her ever supporting fans for your kindness and concern. Last night at Lynx/Fever she took a fall at the very beginning of the show, due to left paddle of her unicycle was damaged during transit, her left wrist was severely fractured at the same spot for the 2nd time. She was at the hospital for 11 hours last night. Greta and Sheridan, from Minnesota Lynx, stayed with her at the hospital the entire night for her procedure. She is very grateful. She is on her way home now and the Doctors in Minneapolis have recommended that as soon as she gets home, she meet with an orthopedic surgeon for the 2nd part of repair. Red panda, wants me to Thank all of you for the kind wishes and support, it means the world to her. She much appreciates from her heart the support she is receiving. We’ll keep you all posted”

    Those plates must have magnets. No way she lines up 5-7 in a row, plus they don't break when they fall down

    Good news, basketball fans: Red Panda intends to be ready for next season.

    Red Panda -- her real name is Rong Niu -- spent 11 hours in a Minneapolis hospital, with a pair of Lynx staffers with her the entire time, agent Patrick Figley said. The Chinese American acrobat was heading home for treatment and recovery, which should take a few months.
