Angel City FC defender Savy King is finally home from the hospital after undergoing heart surgery—a scary ordeal that began when she collapsed mid-game earlier this month. The incident halted the match and left her teammates and fans deeply concerned, so her discharge is a welcome step forward in her recovery.

What This Mean: Athletes collapsing from heart issues is rare but alarming, especially in high-intensity sports like soccer. King’s recovery is a relief for fans and a reminder of the physical demands on players—and why medical responses in sports matter so much. It also highlights the resilience of athletes facing serious health setbacks.
