Atlanta Dream forward Allisha Gray is expected to play in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the Golden State Valkyries, despite a recent finger injury.
The available information describes Gray as expected to take part in the opener, but does not say that her participation has been confirmed. It also does not specify which finger was injured, when the injury occurred or how severe it is.
No details were provided about whether Gray has missed practice or games, received treatment, or faced any other limitations. The source of the expectation was not identified, and no statement from Gray, the Dream or team medical staff was included.
The date and location of Game 1 were not provided. The available information also does not describe any broader effect the injury could have on the Atlanta lineup or the Finals matchup.
For now, the reported expectation is that Gray will be available for the series opener. That remains distinct from a confirmed status, and further specifics about the injury and her availability were not included in the information provided.
