Gezelle Allison is back, and she’s aiming for greatness

There is a piece of metal inside Gezelle Allison’s right hand, a plate and five screws holding together a bone that broke. She said it was an injury that also broke her heart.

That bone — her fourth metacarpal — cost her a spot on the 2026 Commonwealth Games squad at which Jamaica won a silver medal. It also cost her months away from the court, away from her sisters, and away from the yellow dress she loves to wear. But it did not cost her dream.

Allison is back in the Sunshine Girls squad for the upcoming four-match Horizon series. And she is not back to make up numbers. She is back for greatness.
