interesting choice of words

from an article about chamique holdsclaw's surprising retirement from the wnba (i don't really follow it, but the article caught my eye).

they make it sound like a torn acl or something. i know it's based off typical sports lingo used when a player can't play due to medical reasons, but it just doesn't sound quite right in this case...
"The news was a jolt to the Sparks (3-2), who had already lost star center Lisa Leslie to pregnancy this season."
