NEW YORK — WNBA fans were anxiously awaiting news on the status of Las Vegas Aces point guard Chelsea Gray for Wednesday’s Game 4 (8 p.m. ET, ESPN/ESPN App) of the WNBA Finals after she suffered a foot injury Sunday.
But Tuesday’s update delivered a double blow for the Aces. Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon ruled out Gray and center Kiah Stokes for Game 4 with foot injuries. Stokes and Gray entered practice at Barclays Center using crutches and a scooter, respectively.
Hammon said both are questionable should the series go to a decisive Game 5, which would be held Friday in Las Vegas. Stokes said she is awaiting MRI results and word from doctors on her status moving forward, while Gray said she’s not holding out hope of playing in Game 5.
