Nikkita Lyons took to her

to reveal that she has a partially torn MCL.

"Just wanted to give a little detail on what exactly happened as far as the condition. My knee is it.

"I have a partial tear on my MCL, just a sprain.

"So, it could've been worse but it did refrain me from being able to compete in the Women's Breakout Tournament.

"So, that is why your girl is out but only for — you know the comeback is always stronger than the setback."

The good news is that Lyons says she will not need surgery. She revealed the MCL will be able to heal on its own in due time.
