The Las Vegas Aces will have the chance to win the WNBA title Wednesday night, but they will be missing two players from the starting five. More specifically, guard Chelsea Gray and center Kiah Stokes are out for Game 4 of the WNBA Finals.
Gray exited Game 3 with an apparent foot injury and she will be unable to suit up for Wednesday’s crucial contest. Gray is averaging 15.3 points and 7.3 assists this season, while Stokes is the top rebounder behind A’ja Wilson with 5.9 per game.
Chelsea Gray and Kiah Stokes will both be out for Game 4, per Head Coach Becky Hammon. Gray was on a knee scooter and Stokes had a walking boot with crutches at practice. #WNBAFinals

The Aces lead the Liberty 2-1 in the series. New York hosts Game 4 on Wednesday. Gray told reporters she will be evaluated to gauge her availability for a Game 5, in case the series continues.
Stokes appeared using crutches on Tuesday, but did not notice something specific during Game 3 of the series as the 30-year-old woke up Monday aware something was wrong, she told reporters.
The Las Vegas Aces will be down to 8 players for game 4. Candace Parker (left foot), Chelsea Gray (left foot), Kiah Stokes (right foot), and Riquna Williams (not with team) are all OUT. #WNBAFinals
