Shooting recruit Lucy Austin will miss the remainder of the 2026 Suncorp Super Netball season.
Austin injured her foot at training last week, with subsequent scans revealing a fracture in her right foot.
Following consultation with a surgeon, as well as both the club’s and Diamond’s medical staff, the decision has been made to undergo surgery to repair the damage.
Austin is expected to be sidelined for 12 weeks.
GIANTS Head Coach Nerida Stewart said:
“We’re really disappointed for Lucy, especially given how committed she has been since arriving at the club in the off-season.
“It’s a tough setback but we’ll wrap our arms around her and give her all the support she needs in her rehab and return to the court.
“We’ll now work through our options to find a replacement player who can step into the group and contribute over the coming weeks.”
