Adelaide Thunderbirds midcourter Hannah Petty will sit out of this weekend's Team Girls Cup pre-season tournament on the Gold Coast.
The club will continue to take a precautionary approach to Petty's ankle injury as the side prepares for its season opener in the coming weeks.
Training partner and South Australian midcourter Sophie Casey will take her place in the squad of 12.
The side's opening match of Team Girls Cup will be against the Queensland Firebirds at 7:30pm ACDT. All matches across the weekend will be broadcast live via Fox Sports and Kayo Freebies.
