Andi Jackson did not play because the coaching staff chose to keep her on the bench due to performance reasons in this particular match.
Coach’s explanation
Head coach Dani Busboom Kelly explained after the match that “nothing was going right” for Jackson in terms of her attacking and overall rhythm, so the staff decided to go with another option who was having more impact at that moment. The coach framed it as an in‑game adjustment rather than a disciplinary issue or a serious injury, emphasizing that the replacement was making plays and therefore stayed on the court.
Other possible factors
Public reports around this time have also mentioned that Jackson had dealt with a minor issue earlier in the season, but the primary, direct explanation given for “tonight” was about match performance and momentum, not a major health concern. No credible report indicates a suspension or off‑court problem connected to her not playing in this match.
