WNBA Finals: Aces' Gray, Stokes Injured in Game 3 Goof Off
Gray Ruled Out for Game 4
New York Aces center Kiah Stokes and guard Chelsea Gray both suffered injuries in a goof off during Game 3 of the WNBA Finals on Sunday. Gray, who missed the end of both her junior and senior seasons at Duke with knee injuries, is out for at least the remainder of the series after suffering a foot injury.
Stokes' Status Uncertain
Stokes' status for Game 4 is uncertain after she suffered a sprained ankle in the same incident. The Aces are already without guard Riquna Williams, who suffered a torn ACL in Game 2. The injuries are a major blow to the Aces, who are trailing the New York Liberty 2-1 in the best-of-five series.
Conclusion
The Aces will now have to rely on their depth to try and win the WNBA championship. Stokes and Gray are two of the team's most important players, and their absence will be a major challenge. The Liberty, who are looking to win their first WNBA title since 2002, will be favored to win Game 4 and take a commanding 3-1 lead in the series.
