Dream coach drops important Allisha Gray injury update ahead of WNBA Finals Game 1
Allisha Gray could be back on the court before long, according to Dream head coach Karl Smesko.
Atlanta Dream coach Karl Smesko has provided an important update on injured star guard Allisha Gray ahead of the WNBA Finals Game 1. The four-time All-Star had a hand injury in the Dream's semifinal matchup against the Liberty, which caused her to miss the team's final two games of the series.
According to ESPN's Kendra Andrews, Gray's status is currently trending in a positive direction, though it remains to be seen if she will play in Saturday's decisive game. If she is able to participate, the team won't impose any restrictions on her participation. Gray did take part in Friday's practice, engaging in full-court drills with her teammates while wearing medical tape on her left hand.
