Since the start of the regular season, Van Lith has faced some early setbacks. The dynamic guard suffered an ankle injury that kept her sidelined during the Sky’s recent matchups.

She also missed the previous game against the Los Angeles Sparks, continuing her recovery.
Now, Van Lith is once again listed as questionable for tonight’s matchup against the Dallas Wings. There’s cautious optimism surrounding her status, as she was seen participating in shootarounds earlier today—an encouraging sign for both the team and fans eager to see her back in action.
