Questionable for Monday Smalls (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Sun.

Impact Smalls got the starting nod in Thursday's loss to New York and supplied two points and four assists across 16 minutes, though she's now dealing with a left ankle injury that could keep her out of Monday's contest.

As long as she can stay healthy, Smalls should be one of the first options off the bench.
