The WNBA semifinals are being reshaped by a wave of injuries as teams head into pivotal games this week.
Atlanta guard Allisha Gray will sit out Wednesday's Game 2 against New York, leaving the team without one of its key contributors for the contest.
Elsewhere, the Las Vegas Aces enter their own semifinal matchup already shorthanded, and guard Jewell Loyd's availability is now in question. Loyd has been listed as doubtful, adding further uncertainty for a roster that has dealt with absences through the postseason.
Neither team has confirmed how it plans to adjust its rotation in response to the injuries, but both games carry significant playoff implications as the semifinal round continues.
