Tabbed questionable Thursday Sykes (lower leg) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Aces, Jenn Hatfield of The Next reports.

Johnson added that he was hopeful Sykes would be able to give it a go after loosening it up during warmups. This is a situation to monitor closely in fantasy with the veteran guard carrying a significant usage rate for Washington.

Plus, the eight assists represented a season-high mark for her.
