Injury Report
Atlanta Dream
- Rhyne Howard — DAY‑TO‑DAY (ankle)
- Cheyenne Parker — OUT (foot)
- Aari McDonald — DAY‑TO‑DAY (shoulder)
Impact: Howard’s availability is massive — she’s Atlanta’s top scorer and defensive anchor. Parker’s absence weakens interior scoring and rim protection.
Washington Mystics
- Elena Delle Donne — DAY‑TO‑DAY (back)
- Shakira Austin — OUT (hip)
- Brittney Sykes — DAY‑TO‑DAY (knee)
Impact: Delle Donne’s status determines Washington’s offensive ceiling. Austin’s absence hurts rebounding and interior defense.
Key Player Matchups
Rhyne Howard (ATL) vs. Brittney Sykes (WAS)
If both play, this is the matchup of the night. Howard’s shot creation vs. Sykes’ elite perimeter defense will dictate Atlanta’s offensive rhythm.
Elena Delle Donne (WAS) vs. Dream Frontcourt
If active, Delle Donne’s mid‑range and pick‑and‑pop game challenge Atlanta’s interior rotations. Without Parker, the Dream may struggle to contain her.
Allisha Gray (ATL) vs. Ariel Atkins (WAS)
Gray’s slashing ability vs. Atkins’ two‑way consistency is a major swing factor. Gray has averaged 18.2 PPG over her last five.
