Forty two minutes and five FGA for Ezi? I watched her being silent offensively, but those numbers were even worse than I thought. That is unconscionable. She has got to take more ownership on the offensive end. The ability to do so is clearly there, but the willingness to do so consistently continues to be an issue.
Jordan looks like a much different player this year. She’s bringing a lot of bounce and aggression to the court, and slashing, rather than taking perimeter jumpers has been encouraging. She’s looking more like the player I coveted at Tennessee.
Kudos to the the City of Las Vegas for finding creative ways to help the Aces circumvent the salary cap. Bravo.
I agree that Ezi needs to be more aggressive on offense and Jordan is doing great leading the 2nd unit but we're not getting enough from Sami and Jewell hasn't found her touch yet. She was abysmal in the 1st game.
I asked her after the game and she basically said, it's a part of playing basketball and that she was OK. Obviously, at that point they wouldn't have done any scans, X-Rays, or anything like that. Today, she was listed as Questionable to play on Sunday with the ankle injury. So she might miss the game tomorrow. And if Ogwumike does miss Sunday's game, it's probably likely she will miss Monday's game too. But we can't assume anything. We'll just have to wait until close to tip-off tomorrow.

You didn't say anything about Ogwumike's ankle injury. Is she okay? Will she be able to play on Sunday?

Thanks for the info. We really need her!
