The Las Vegas Aces continue their three-game road trip on Friday against the Atlanta Dream. The Aces are looking to extend their winning streak to three and improve their record to 5-1. The Dream, meanwhile, are coming off a 73-67 win over the Washington Mystics.
Las Vegas is heavily favored to win the game over the Dream, considering the overall talent in their roster. A'ja Wilson is an MVP candidate, while Kelsey Plum and Jackie Young are picking up the slack in the absence of the injured Chelsea Gray.
Meanwhile, the Dream will try to build some momentum, and there's no greater momentum after beating the defending champions. They have not beaten the Aces since July 20, 2022.
Las Vegas Aces vs Atlanta Dream injury report
The Las Vegas Aces have two players on their injury report – Chelsea Gray and Kierstan Bell.
Gray has been dealing with a lower left leg injury since last year's WNBA Finals and there's still no timetable for her return. She's out of a walking boot but is required to wear it in public appearances as a precaution.
Meanwhile, Bell has missed the past three games with a lower right leg injury. She's also in a walking boot, which was also worn as a precaution. Bell dealt with an Achilles issue before the season started, so it's possible that it flared up again.
Meanwhile, the Atlanta Dream have two players on their injury report – Jordin Canada and Allisha Grey. Canada has a hand injury and is not close to a return, while Grey is a game-time decision due to a left thumb injury.
