The week begins on Friday, Feb. 28 with Vinyl meeting Laces at 7:15 p.m. ET, followed by Mist and Phantom going at it at 8:15 p.m. ET. Both games will be broadcast on TNT.
Which team can earn a playoff edge?
Vinyl and Laces last played in Week 2, when Laces won 83-79. Since then, Laces have experienced a roulette of roster changes due to injuries. While Alyssa Thomas returned, albeit on in minutes limit, in Laces’ Tuesday loss to Mist, it is unclear how available she and the club’s other mostly-absent roster regulars will be on Friday.
If Thomas and Betnijah Laney-Hamilton are available, along with stalwarts Kayla McBride and Stef Dolson, Laces should have enough to compete with Vinyl and hopefully hang on to the third spot in the standings….
