“Gray is still waiting on a final answer from the training staff on her status, she said. But she came out of warmups feeling good. Her hand does not hurt, she says, and the tape she is wearing on her pinky and ring finger are not impacting her shot.”
Gray injured her left ring finger in Game 1 of the Dream’s semifinals matchup against the Liberty. Following Game 1, she did not play in the following two games. The Dream went on to sweep the Liberty and advance to the WNBA Finals. According to WSB-TV’s Allison Mastrangelo, Gray revealed she had a “minor procedure” on her hand, but she didn’t specify what it was.
Gray is a key player for the Dream, averaging 19 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.4 steals while shooting 46.3% from the field and 33.9% from three-point range. During the playoffs, she’s averaged 17 points per game with 2 steals while shooting 38.5% from three and 92.3% from the free-throw line.
The Dreamers will face off against the Valkyries this afternoon at 3:30 pm EST, with NBC broadcasting the game.
