Allisha Gray remains questionable for Finals opener

Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray remained day-to-day ahead of Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the Golden State Valkyries after a left-hand injury in the semifinals required a minor procedure. She returned to full-court practice and said her hand felt good, but her availability would depend on how it responded to contact and a final assessment by the medical staff near tip-off. Gray led Atlanta in regular-season scoring at 19 points per game, so her absence would be significant; the team prepared to play with or without her after sweeping New York without the injured guard.
