Mystics F Delle Donne questionable with knee bone bruise
WASHINGTON (AP) - Washington Mystics star Elena Delle Donne has a bone bruise in her left knee and will be listed as questionable for Game 3 of the WNBA semifinal series against the Atlanta Dream.
The Mystics announced Delle Donne's status Wednesday, two days before they host the Dream.
The best-of-five series is tied at 1-all.
Delle Donne was injured on a drive to the basket with a little more than 3 minutes left in Washington's 78-75 loss at Atlanta on Tuesday night.
The Mystics were leading 70-68 when she was hurt. Delle Donne had 27 points, 14 rebounds, six assists, two blocks and a steal before leaving the game.
She is one of the WNBA's top players, winning MVP honors in 2015 and finishing third in the voting for that award this season.
