Wilkes Barre Scranton Hazleton, PA, October 17, 2026 —

Atlanta Dream forward Allisha Gray is expected to play in Game 1 of the WNBA Finals against the Golden State Valkyries, according to the available information. Her status is described as expected, rather than confirmed.

No further details were provided about Gray’s availability, including whether it is related to an injury or another circumstance. The information also does not specify when the expectation was reported or identify its source. No additional details about the game, such as its date or location, were included.

The update concerns Gray’s expected participation in the series opener. It does not establish whether she will start, how much she may play, or whether her status could change before the game. Those details were not provided, so her expected availability should not be read as confirmation of a final game-day decision.

Gray is identified in the information as a forward for the Atlanta Dream, with the Golden State Valkyries named as the opponent in Game 1. No other player availability updates, team comments or details about the Finals were supplied. The available update is therefore limited to Gray being expected to play in the opening game.
