Hey there! So, here's the scoop on a little drama unfolding in the world of Dancing With the Stars. Pro dancer Lindsay Arnold, who’s just 23 years old, suffered a pretty bad knee injury during rehearsals earlier this week. Fans are now worried that this might stop her from performing with her partner, Jordan Fisher, on tonight’s episode. Yikes, right? According to an insider, "Lindsay injured her knee during a camera blocking rehearsal on Sunday morning while working on a number with the troupe." This is a big deal, especially since it’s such a crucial time in the competition.
What Happened Next?
Now, here’s where things get even more intense. Sources tell us that Lindsay is keeping her fingers crossed, hoping she'll be cleared to dance tomorrow. But, as you can imagine, it’s really going to be a last-minute call. "It will likely be touch and go until showtime on Monday," the insider continued. And here's the twist: If Lindsay can't make it, fellow pro Sharna Burgess — who was voted off in Week 3 with partner Derek Fisher — is already learning Lindsay's routines for the Monday, Nov. 13 show. Just in case, you know?
Lindsay Speaks Out
Lindsay herself later confirmed the injury and gave fans a little update. She shared on Instagram how proud she was of Jordan Fisher, but she couldn't hide the frustration about her knee. In an interview with People, she opened up about the whole situation: "I was practicing the pro number, and I literally just stepped up onto a stair, and it felt like my whole leg gave out and stopped working. I thought it was just a one-time thing, but then it happened a couple more times, even with simple movements." Can you imagine how frustrating that must be for her? It’s the semi-finals, and she really wants to be out there dancing with Jordan.

Where Does This Leave the Competition?
With only five duos left competing in Season 25, Lindsay is the only pro still in the running who hasn't yet won the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy. That’s a big deal. Emma Slater, who's now paired with Property Brothers star Drew Scott, previously won Season 24 with partner Rashad Jennings. Witney Carson, who's currently dancing with actor Frankie Muniz, won Season 19 with Alfonso Ribeiro. And let’s not forget the veterans: Mark Ballas, who's now paired with violinist Lindsey Stirling, has won twice — with Kristi Yamaguchi in Season 6 and Shawn Johnson in Season 8. Val Chmerkovskiy, who's now dancing with Olympian Victoria Arlen, also has two wins under his belt — with Rumer Willis in Season 20 and Laurie Hernandez in Season 23.
So, needless to say, the competition is fierce. We’re all hoping Lindsay can pull through and return to the ballroom tonight. Stay tuned for updates on this dramatic turn of events!
