What happened: Karl Smesko provided no immediate postgame update on Allisha Gray, stating only that the team hopes she will be okay. Gray had exited the semifinal opener against New York after a fast pass caught the tip of her finger, though she was eventually cleared to return.

Why it matters: The postgame uncertainty leaves Gray's official status unresolved moving forward in the series. Her sustained health is critical after initially leaving the floor for the locker room.

What to watch: Medical staff will evaluate Gray's left hand before providing a formal update on her availability for the next contest.
