The Aporia · Atlanta Dream leading scorer Allisha Gray ruled out for remainder of Game 1 with left hand injury

Atlanta Dream guard Allisha Gray has been ruled out for the rest of Game 1 in the WNBA semifinals against the New York Liberty due to a left hand injury sustained during the first quarter. Initially injured from hard contact on a screen, she briefly returned but re-injured her hand while diving for a loose ball in the second quarter. As the team’s leading scorer this season with an average of 19 points per game and a four-time All-Star player, Gray's absence is significant given her recent performance in Atlanta’s previous playoff games against Washington.
