Chelsea Gray suffers injury in Game 3 of WNBA Finals

Chelsea Gray, who was recently named a part of the All-WNBA 2nd Team, suffered an apparent leg injury in Game 3 of the WNBA Finals, in which the Las Vegas Aces lost, 87-73.

With five minutes remaining in the game, Gray was battling with New York Liberty’s Breanna Stewart in the mid-post and started hobbling. She stayed the following two possessions, but Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon pulled her out of the game afterward.

Gray, who scored 11 points in the game, showed clear signs of discomfort in her left leg and was seen on the bench saying, "My foot popped."

When asked about Chelsea Gray’s condition postgame, Hammon said:

"I can't give you an update. I'll let you know when we know."

The absence of Gray, the 2022 Finals MVP, will be a significant setback for the Aces. It will be intriguing to see if the Liberty can capitalize on this opportunity to level the finals, which Las Vegas currently leads, 2-1.
