At the DWTS 10th Anniversary Special, Nastia opened up about Derek‘s injury.

“He does have a busy summer, a busy year ahead of him, so I kind of told him, ‘Please don’t rush it. You have so much ahead of you,’” she told E! News. “Obviously I would love to dance with him next week, but if he’s not ready enough to do that then we have Sasha, who has been absolutely amazing.”
