What happened: Hailey Van Lith has been listed as OUT for the June 19 game against the Toronto Tempo with a left ankle contusion. The guard carried the same designation two days earlier for the June 17 contest against the Washington Mystics, marking a second straight absence.
Why it matters: Losing a backcourt option for consecutive games tightens the rotation and shifts minutes to the remaining guards. A contusion that lingers across multiple game reports is worth tracking, as repeat absences can signal a slower recovery than a single-game knock.
By the numbers: Van Lith has now appeared on back-to-back status reports as OUT with the same left ankle contusion: June 17 vs. Washington and June 19 vs. Toronto.
What to watch: Watch the next status report to see whether Van Lith is upgraded to questionable or remains out, which will indicate how the ankle is responding.
