  "account": "San Francisco (AP) — Jewell Loyd, reserve for the Las Vegas Aces, is listed as doubtful for Game 2 of the WNBA semifinals against the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday night. However, Stephanie Talbot and Dana Evans could find their way back into the lineup. Loyd suffered a left leg injury during the series-opening loss to the Valkyries on Sunday. Talbot, who has not played in the past two postseason games, was replaced by Loyd in the starting lineup. Averaging 4.0 points and 2.6 rebounds per game in the regular season, Talbot has stepped up in the postseason with 8.5 points and 3.5 rebounds. Loyd, known for her perimeter shooting, 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, had a key role off the bench last season, contributing 8.4 points and 2.9 assists.",
