Originally posted on Athlon Sports | By Chris Phelps | Last updated Jul 2, 2025 8:42 PM ET

After a brief hiatus for the Commissioner's Cup championship game, the 2025 WNBA regular season will continue on Thursday night.

A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces will be back in action Thursday, hitting the road to face Aliyah Boston and the Indiana Fever for the second time this season.

Although Las Vegas has started the 2025 season at 8-8, the Aces have remained relatively healthy. However, two players have yet to appear in a game this year, but one is nearing a return.

Center Megan Gustafson has missed the Aces’ first 16 games with a lower left leg injury suffered during training camp. While her status for Thursday’s game remains uncertain, she has been upgraded to doubtful for the first time this season, according to Callie Fin of the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Gustafson, entering her second season with the Aces, proved to be a solid role player off the bench in 2024. She finished the year averaging 3.7 points on 50.0% shooting and 1.9 rebounds per game.

Along with Gustafson, Las Vegas also ruled out forward Cheyenne Parker-Tyus, who has also missed every game this season.

The Fever also have key players on their injury report. All-WNBA point guard Caitlin Clark remains out as she continues to recover from a groin injury, while Damiris Dantas is away from the team competing in the AmeriCup with the Brazil national team.

Notable change on the Aces’ status report for tomorrow’s game at the Indiana Fever:

Megan Gustafson, who has been out with a lower left injury since training camp, has been upgraded to “DOUBTFUL.”

Cheyenne Parker-Tyus (pregnancy) is still NWT. Her due date was a few days ago.

The Aces will take on the Fever on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. ET at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Then, Las Vegas will continue its five-game road trip against the Connecticut Sun on Sunday.
