Aces Center Megan Gustafson Indefinitely Sideline with Leg Injury

Las Vegas Aces backup center Megan Gustafson has been sidelined indefinitely after sustaining a lower left leg injury during training camp, as announced by the team. Gustafson, who averaged 3.7 points and 1.9 rebounds in 38 games last season, was injured during practice, and the team has not yet specified the nature of her injury or a timetable for her return. Her absence affects the Aces' frontcourt depth as they prepare for the preseason and aim for another strong season following their recent playoff elimination. The team will now rely more heavily on other centers, including Kiah Stokes, Elizabeth Kitley, and Queen Egbo, while also navigating roster decisions ahead of the regular season. Additionally, veteran forward Cheyenne Parker-Tyus will miss at least the first half of the year due to pregnancy, further impacting the roster. The Aces plan to provide updates on Gustafson and must finalize their roster before the start of the regular season.
