Injury to sideline Venom star for season

The Geelong Venom will be without star Gemma Potter for the rest of the WNBL26 season due to injury.

The Venom wing went down late in the club's Round 6 clash with Adelaide at the South Australia State Basketball Centre.

Since then, the club has confirmed that scans revealed Potter sustained an ACL rupture to her right knee, which will rule her out for the Venom's 2025-26 campaign.

This unfortunately marks the third ACL injury of Potter's career.

The 23-year-old thanked everyone for the support since injury via her Instagram page:

ACL: 3 - Gemma: 0

Sport can give you everything and take it away just as quickly.

Thank you for the messages, the calls, the love. I feel every bit of it.

Ready to take the road again, with the people who always hold me up.

The Venom, who are 3-5 on the season, next travel to Sydney to play the Flames on Wednesday night from 7pm AEDT.

Tickets to the Round 7 fixture, which will be broadcast live on ESPN and 9Now, are still available here
