I did not know that Logan Nissley had been experiencing foot injury issues since her Junior year in High School. It make her accomplishments as a Freshman on the WBB Team all the more impressive. She expects to have foot surgery in the off-season.
"She played both basketball and volleyball in high school, and the injuries never kept her off the court for an entire season. Nissley also hasn’t missed a game for the Huskers this year. The pain does pop up, though, and she said she was feeling it after starting four games in four days at the conference tournament.
You wouldn’t be able to tell that by her championship game performance, where she had her best performance of the tournament with 13 points and five assists in 34 minutes. However, Nissley played under 20 minutes in each of the previous three games and the coaching staff knew she wasn’t always able to go 100% in shootarounds.
The start of the season and the days following the Big Ten tournament were the hardest mentally. The former was difficult as she wasn’t sure how teammates and coaches would react to her struggles. After the conference tourney run, she wasn’t able to recover as quickly as she wanted to.
Nissley said she plans to have surgery again in the offseason, and that her feet issues hopefully will go away after that. In the meantime, she’s put together a season that earned her a spot in the starting lineup and a spot on the Big Ten all-freshman team, now averaging 6.7 points per game on 39% shooting from three."
