Atlanta Dream head coach Karl Smesko has provided an update on Allisha Gray's injury status ahead of the WNBA Finals. Gray could return to action soon, a significant boost for the team as they prepare for the opening game of the finals. The Dream face the Golden State Valkyries in Game 1 on 20 October.

The Atlanta Dream currently lead the WNBA standings with 30 wins and 14 losses from 44 games played. They have a strong goal difference of +302 and have been in good form recently, winning four of their last five matches. Their latest result was a narrow 68-64 loss away at the Golden State Valkyries on 17 October.

The Dream's recent run includes wins over the New York Liberty and Washington Mystics, showing their competitive edge as they enter the crucial final phase of the season. The potential return of Gray could add depth and experience to the squad, enhancing their chances in the finals.

The Golden State Valkyries, who defeated the Dream in their last encounter, will host the first game of the WNBA Finals. Both teams are preparing intensely for this pivotal match, which could set the tone for the rest of the series. The Dream will rely on their strong regular-season performance and the possible return of Gray to challenge the Valkyries on their home court.
