Injury Report
Las Vegas Aces
A’ja Wilson — FIT
Kelsey Plum — FIT
Chelsea Gray — QUESTIONABLE (foot soreness; game‑time decision)
Alicia Clark — FIT
Kate Martin — OUT (ankle sprain)
Impact: If Gray sits, Vegas loses its elite half‑court organizer and late‑clock creator. Plum and Jackie Young will shoulder more ball‑handling.
New York Liberty
Sabrina Ionescu — FIT
Breanna Stewart — FIT
Jonquel Jones — QUESTIONABLE (knee inflammation)
Courtney Vandersloot — FIT
Betnijah Laney — FIT
Impact: Jones’ availability dramatically affects New York’s interior defense and rebounding. Without her, Stewart must play more minutes at the 5, which changes spacing and rim protection.
