Aces list Loyd as doubtful for Game 2 vs Valkyries; Talbot and Evans questionable

Las Vegas Aces top reserve Jewell Loyd faces doubts for Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals against Golden State Valkyries, according to reports. However, Stephanie Talbot and Dana Evans could be available for selection. Talbot and Evans are listed as questionable for the upcoming match. Talbot, who has not played the last two postseason games due to a left leg injury, was substituted in the starting lineup by Loyd following Las Vegas' 71-60 defeat in the series opener.

Loyd suffered a left leg injury in that match. Talbot has been a consistent performer this season, averaging 4.0 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, but her contributions have increased to 8.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in the postseason. Loyd, a top perimeter shooter, was the Aces' first bench player in the regular season and averaged 8.0 points.

Evans, sidelined since September 22 due to a right knee injury, played just 14 games this season but was a crucial bench player last year, contributing 8.4 points and 2.9 assists when the Aces secured their third title in four years.
